I came from a near perfect room setup and turned everything 90 degree so now one speaker is near a corner and the other is more in the open. At some point I stopped offering higher advice on cables and the like because I believed in the synergy of the room.
You need to play with distances from the wall you do have. My left speaker is now a little farther out than the right. Treatment attempts will take some experimentation with eyes closed too. 95% of times our eyes are awesome but they can get in the way if you believe the symmetry is important.
In the end there is greatness in audio and you will find the magic in the setup. Take your time and experiment as you can. Sometimes it's a little windy when you go fishing. Sometimes you want to put the gas pedal down but there are kids in the car. You need a long game approach (unless you get out the hammer and nails).
Maybe put a large potted plant (not a pot plant, or maybe) behind the speaker to help it aesthetically. Can you put a lamps and chair there to help it look better? Work on toe in too. Greatness will prevail if you put in the time and go through the process. I'm not one to put more in the way of the signal, as mentioned above, but we all have different ways of getting there. In the end you are the only one that is listening so if you can find the groove (and aesthetics for family), great.
I'm still a proponent of proper symmetry but I surprised myself with the magic I got with good gear in an asymmetrical setup. I don't have the time or interest to read about but I am curious if our minds begin to fill in some of this stuff too. One last thought on this is- I don't know how well your current speakers meet your priorities in relation the your room, but that's a whole different conversation.
