I am in desperate need of some acoustic treatment in my home studio. I recently moved house and I'm trying to mix and master in a room with 4 bare walls and a whole ton of boomy-ness and mudiness, depending on where you stand in the room.
Without getting too scientific, what is the best way to go about treating the room acoustically?
My plan at the moment is to have someone I know build about eight 1x1.5 bass traps, using the following as a guide, and to simply stick them up on the walls:

The packages that I have seen online are ridiculously expensive, so I would prefer to DIY if possible. I know a lot is dependent on the room itself and proper advice can only be given after having seen the room and 'listened' to it, but I just want something basic. The major problem is there is only one corner that I could place a bass trap in, the other 3 corners have a door, a cupboard door and a window against the very edge of the wall, so I can't really do anything there.
I know there are absorbers, diffusers and a whole host of other acoustic type things, so can I get away with just using bass traps?
Any advice would be most appreciated.
