Room correction help


I am getting ready to start room correction.  Room is 14 x 24 x 8 ceiling,  hardwood floors.  Speakers are 9 feet apart, approx 2 1/2 ft from side walls, 28 in from front wall. Seating is 10 ft from front speakers.  This is for 2ch, ht and living room.  For esthetic purposes I was thinking of a throw rug, but I only wanted to go 7 or 8 ft long and maybe 6 ft wide. Few people said to go 10 x 8, but it would not look great esthetically.  Is this an issue.  I will be doing large side panels for first and second reflection point that have pictures,  probably james dean theme. This is my loving room and want to keep it nicely decorated.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Throw we picked out is flokati about 1 1/2 to 2 inch thick.
Thanks Pete

Perhaps if you cannot here much difference there is a reflection that over powers the places you have tried . A mirror placed on surfaces should show you if you are accurately finding the reflective points in your room . After i switched to very wide dispersion components i got reflection . (077,2441,harstfield lenses.)
when i used stuff a touch more beamy i did not . (Cat eye 076, 2344)  its an ideal time to see if placement benefits your cause the most , then room treat( try the mirror to help guide )  , then position speakers again , you will never be done . This is a forever hobby .
