Hey guys,

I have been reading this forum on and off for a while but until now I have seen no reason to post. Firstly I have done my best to research room acoustics but I have some questions that directly relate to the weird shape of my room and the fact that I have quite high ceilings at 3m or nearly 10 feet

Now on my desk there I have a pair of KRK Rokit 8s - In hindsight I think an 8" speaker is probably a bit large for the size of my room and if it matters I produce electronic music

Here is the design of my room

So my questions:

What sort of acoustic treatment do you think would be best for this room shape?

Does my bed act as a bass trap of some sort? I understand that bass traps are normally placed in corners so if this doesn't act as one, what are the alternatives for a room such as this?

In a room such as this, is it viable to put my krk rokit 8s on speaker stands?

Does the high ceiling of 3m/10ft affect everything in a bad or good way?

Do the 3 windows affect things in bad or good way?

If you guys need any further information please ask and thankyou to anyone who takes the time to answer my questions.
