Welcome to the forum.

Ethan outlined the basics that all rooms require. Sounds like a couple of those won't be possible due to the layout though. There is always a tradeoff in a situation like that.

I'd be happy to discuss your needs and come up with a plan of action that would be both effective and visually acceptable to the significant other. Treatments don't have to be 'ugly' or make the room look like a studio if done properly.

If you can post or email me a sketch, that'd certainly help.
