Any solutions for treating my absurdly shaped bedroom?

Hi Gearslutz,

This is my first post, as I am starting to get serious about my sound I would like some advice on what to do with my INSANELY weird room. I've moved to NYC and space is limited so I must now setup in my small bedroom. I hope the attached image explains what I'm dealing with.

I'm virtually stuck with this current arrangement as I cannot move the bed anywhere else, so any tips / simple solutions (bass traps? acoustic foam on certain walls?) is appreciated.

Any change you can move to face that upper corner? It will help with keeping things a bit more symmetric. From there is it just a matter of placing as many bass traps in as many corners as possible.

Not likely, as the bed will interfere with either the path of any doorway or a path to walk to the top of the room in general.

If I can't move the desk, is putting bass traps in as many corners still a halfway decent solution?
