Your room, as it appears in photos (and we’ve been down this road before), has a lot of areas of concern, since you have no bass trapping, you have to have a buildup of bass frequencies in some areas, nulls (dips) in others.

Also, you have first reflections hitting your ears at too high a volume level and too soon.

You can improve the sound of your room by absorbing bass frequencies and first reflections - delaying the time of arrival of reflections, and keeping them at a low enough volume level, they won’t interfere.

You won't know how much better your room will sound until you treat it. The goal isn’t total dead, but rather, a good balance of absorption and live sound.
