A gap wasn't possible between the traps and walls on most of the parts, but a few corners were. I actually resulted to sealing 3 of the 4 sides of the traps, leavin one to allow me to use a staple gun to place them on the walls (couldn't use nails).

The right side of the room was odd to fix since I have to use both those doors to enter/leave the room and the other one is the closet, so I placed the traps so that I can do both without a problem or having to take them down. I also listened to all your suggestions and moved my desk to the other side of the room, putting the bed in the odd corner where the desk used to be.

Might not look pretty, but I can deff tell the difference when listening to mixes. My room had an uncontrollable echo before making the change, and I can hear a difference in the snares and kicks I in two mixes I've recently listened to. I also realized that my past mixes had a lot of reverb. The sound on the monitors actually decreased a bit too, they don't sound as loud as they did before.

Thanks for all your suggestions, I'l make sure to spend the cash and get better treatment whenever I move to a bigger place, but for around 100 bucks and the crappy room i'm currently stuck with, these will do
