Welcome tipomusic.

I'd take off the wardrobe doors and put the desk facing the right wall
(the one close to the "L" in your drawing). The room dimensions are better
this way (not square) and the wardrobe can act as a large bass trap at
your back which is good. You could always hang a curtain instead of the
doors.

What is the distance from the window to the right wall ? It would be great
if you had at least two feet. If so I'd put corner absorbers in the corners
on either side of your desk. Because of the window I'd put the side absorbers,
that reduce the reflections from the side walls, on stands and place them
symmetrically on either side of the desk at reflection points.

I suggest you also hang an absorber (cloud) from the ceiling to handle
the reflections coming from there.

Then stuff the wardrobe with as much clothing and other soft stuff as you
can fit in there.

Your room isn't that small. And with the doors off it's not square. So you
should be able to achieve a pretty good sounding room if you put enough
absorption in the proper places. It'll have to be on the dead side but for
mixing that should be ok.

Are you planning on doing any recording in your room or just mixing ?
