Acoustic Treatment of a Room

I've been reading about acoustic treatment to try to figure out how to orient my control room. Little did I know that the control room is the most important room to have symmetrical and acoustically pristine.

Currently, I am in the situation of having difficulty with the symmetry of the room. It has an offset window which has a 1 ft. wide ledge. This leaves a rather large gap for sound, especially with the way my desk is oriented. I may have to sacrifice the room or some part of the desk in order to re-orient the room to have the monitors at a reasonable distance apart, have the symmetry dealt with (there are 2 doors on one side.) If I move the desk around so that the monitors are pointing across the short length of the room, then I'm afraid it will have significant detriments on the sound. We'll see!
