I'd say without even hearing/seeing the room, the carpet is your biggest culprit for that boxy sound. Use plywood (if you can't afford something nice) or rip up the carpet and leave a cement floor (my main tracking room is cement flooring with a gorgeous epoxy paint and I couldn't ask for a better sound) just to get some reflectivity going, and use area rugs to minimize some floor to ceiling reflections, if necessary. You won't be able to have a 'live' room, but it doesn't have to be clinical and anechoic either. And as Ethan would probably point out, 4" minimum width of rigid fiberglass straddling the corners from floor to ceiling would be very beneficial. Other than that it's hard to say without experimentation....it's science, but it's also subjective.
