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

A couple of things to think about:
normally you might want to place your speakers in the right location before applying reflection point panels. There is a rule of thirds or maybe 5ths meaning your should start your speakers 8’ out from the rear wall. This should help in bass response and depth. 
The space between your speakers seems it might be too large. This will hurt your soundstage and imaging. 
Check out the Cardas website along with many others that give you formulas On where to place your speakers based on your room dimensions.
