Tips for my room. What do you think about heavy curtains?
This is a panorama of my office. We recently moved in and we still have boxes of junk/valuables. I am fairly new and want to get my best sound. Sound paneling the whole room would be ideal but I need to make some profit first. So I'm asking for tips on small improvements to get me by.
I have a sound shield you can see on my desk, which I put a pillow on top of to help block sound bouncing from the ceiling (is that a problem for other people?). I also have a towel underneath to catch sound reflection. I wondered about installing a heavy curtain that could just go around my desk area and putting a few sound-absorbing panels up. Or maybe around the closet where I could move to, put sound panels inside of it with a heavy curtain there. I don't know how many sound panels are needed--do I cover the wall or can I get away with spacing them out for now?
I am using Presonus Studio One for my home studio. Here is a sample of my work:

Hi Michael!
Thanks for sharing such detailed information! To give you better insights, let me ask you some quick questions:
1. Which equipment are you using? Mic, interface, preamp, etc.
2. Can you share a recording that is raw, without any processing and/or music? Just your clean, raw voice.
I'll make sure to give you more personalized feedback then :)
Hey Michael it's kind of hard to tell the real dimensions of the room with a panoramic shot. Looking at the windows of the office I'm guessing you are in a finished basement space or are you in a single story home? Depending on the answers to Angela's questions and a better idea of what is surrounding your space it's hard to give helpful feedback.
