In my opinion, yes. Even just sorting out first reflections will take a lot of the ringing out of a typical bedroom.
What bass trap design are you trying to avoid? Mounting panels slightly off the wall increases their effectiveness at lower frequencies but corner traps (or soffits) or really thick panels on the back wall are best for bass. Something I’m looking at doing as I have no wall/wall corners available is using the wall/ceiling corners on top of shelves. You could also hide wall/floor corner traps under a bed for eg.

I am doing a bit of a bedroom reshuffle because I want to get all the equipment neatly laid out. At the moment I am plugging/unplugging/moving things around and got cables all over the place.
I'm considering doing a bit of DIY acoustic treatment. Bass traps (edit: in corners) seem to be the most effective but also look sh*t so I don't want any, as the rooms primary usage will always be as a bedroom. Am I doing to see any real benefit from having a few panels (likely to my immediate L+R and on the ceiling) + diffuser on back wall?
Bedroom measures approx 6.5 x 3.0 x 3.0 and I'm using it lengthways.
TLDR: If you are going to do a half-arsed job on acoustic treatment is there any point in bothering?
