Helpful tools, but that whole metric system thing really throws my brain for a loop hahahaha.
And man... I can’t get over how bad foam looks aesthetically to me.

building preasure related absorption designs such as helmholtz or plate absorption is not easy to do .....

True but good to plan properly first !

Measure first, plan afterwards and then you'll find out there's no obvious logic.
There's no magic solution. Absorbers will do the heavy lifting. Resonators are very hard to tune right. And diffusers are just the icing on the cake.
In general, forget about foam. The right foam is hard to get and/or expensive. Mineral wool plates are cheap, easy to work with and yield logical results.

In the end for home recording I always went with massive broadband trapping which can be calculated very well and easy. Second plus I don't have to fumble with the right spot in the room which you always have to do with pressure related designs. Building massive base traps is fast, cheap and easy and works always....don't be shy, you can't over trap the low end. -- 0-400Hz

fwiw.
when using a porous absorber calculator on a corner trap the depth used in the calculator is only half the max depth and the entire corner should be filled.
also putting a membrane in front of a porous absorber means its not a true porous absorber. So the calcs change. Plus in really small rooms if the corner is a reflection point and within the isd gap then you would be better of with a diffuser that works above 1k generally speaking.
im no expert though so maybe john can expand on what i said.

Trying to target and correct specific issues in overall flatness within a room's natural deficiencies is easier said than done. (at least from my experience). Especially when your talking budgets and constraints of existing construction.
Instead just put in as many large deep bass traps as possible.
Then rather than staring at frequency measurements, I'd suggest using your ears.
Put up some of your favorite mixes and adjust the tone of the room and amount of reflection to taste using panels.
Then use a tool like sonarworks to take care of the rest.
If you are designing a half million dollar studio from the ground up, this approach would obviously change.
