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 ?

Paul,
Thank you for your response!
Yes, I was thinking something similar to what you suggest and place my desk with the speakers close to the right side wall so the speakers would shoot at the wardrobe.
Do I really need to take off the wardrobe sliding doors? I could maybe install a sliding rail right in front of the wardrobe doors and hang a couple of bass traps or broadband traps on the sliding rail. With these Bass Traps I could basically cover the sliding doors especially if I open the sliding doors so the two doors would slide on top of each other opening up the wardrobe at the two sides. Would this work?
I will try to do a test as well with sliding doors on and off.
I will definitely put broadband traps above my listening position the way that would solve as much primary reflections from the ceiling as possible.
Fortunately there is enough distance from the right side of the window to the right side wall to install bass traps into that corner and also there is space for this in the other corner.
I am planning to do vocal recordings beside of mixing in this very same room.
I will also try to do a test room analysis and see where are the dips and bumps in the frequency graph.
