I am not sure that an asymmetrical room is any problem. In a concert hall, most of the audience sits towards one sidewall or the other. My room is very asymmetrical, straight wall with windows and fireplace on one side, and multiple hallways and a staircase on the other. Also, the walls have lots of irregular jogs, and there are several alcoves. Furniture goes where it is useful and looks good, and that's not symmetrical. Bottom line is that standing waves have a hard time getting established.

When designing loudspeaker enclosures, an asymmetrical box and offset driver locations is considered a good idea. Why not for the big box we call our "listening room"?
