diffusion
Hello Ola,
Based on what I have been reading recently, you will need to create diffusion on that back wall. You probably want to use foam, polycylindrical diffusers, maybe book cases, etc.. There seem to be many options. Many of them are not absurdly expensive. I even saw an idea for a polycylindrical diffuser / bass trap that was made from a trash can. Your goal is to increase the apparent acoustical size of the room, broaden the "sweet spot" for mixing and prevent the room's axial, tangential and oblique modes from clustering around certain frequencies. In simple term, you want the sound wave to bounce off that back wall in multiple directions. It seems as though you could achieve this with a number diffusion products and home-made solutions. Just make sure that you don't leave that as a big flat wall.

for professional acoustic foams. Some of these product are quite expensive. There is another thread that has ideas on inexpensive "real" acoustical treatment. There are good suggestion in there.
It seems like there are a lot of ideas out there. In general, I am reading that you want to absorb sound near the monitors, mixing board and computer. You want to diffuse sound on the back wall.
I hope this helps. I appreciate the help that you have given me. I seems from your design that it is hard for you to shape that back wall any differently.
Good luck.
