Moving to the left will help a bit with reflections from your left speaker hitting the wall on your right - I'm sure it's causing some comb filtering, even if you aren't aware of it. Moving to the left and putting some absorption on the right wall would be even better. In general, when it comes to treatment for non-bass frequencies, the easiest way to go about it is to have a friend walk around the walls with a mirror. Anywhere that you can sit in your chair and see the front of either speaker is a place that you're getting reflections from. Put some acoustic foam there, or a couch, or a bookshelf if you're stuck using the living room furniture. This includes the ceiling and the wall behind you, if you can do anything with those.
I've read that in most normal rooms, since we all tend to have 8ft ceilings, modes around 100-150Hz are fairly common due to where you and your speakers end up vertically. A bass trap in one corner will definitely reduce the boominess, even if you can't treat all of them.
For arranging furniture, acoustically at least, you ideally want everything as symmetrical as possible. If the room is longer one way than the other, the best place is to have your desk centered on the shorter wall, so the long part of the room is your front/back, and obviously a couple of feet away from the wall. Whatever you can do to get closer to this will be helpful.
However, as long as you can figure out what problems you have in the room and mix around those, you can still get decent results. The cupboard and drawers in my desk resonate REALLY badly around 200Hz, so I know that I can't trust my ears to mix that range. I try to match, roughly, the amount of resonance I get from a pro mix, and I usually spend a lot of time staring at Voxengo SPAN, but eventually I just have to export the mix and play it on my stereo downstairs.
