when he says "And it makes it look more interesting too!" is that we spend a lot of time in our listening rooms. I think that if it's a room that is inviting, that we feel happy walking into and feel happy to spend time in, even without the system playing, then we're more relaxed and in a better mood when we listen and that will always translate into more enjoyment of our music. We all know how we don't enjoy listening if we're "not in the mood" and how we can really get into it during those times when we're really "in the mood" so doing things which help set us in a good mood when we walk into the room is always going to be beneficial, even without room treatment.
Other things which can help acoustically but which aren't obvious are heavier curtains on the windows, and bookcases full of books if you're a reader. Instead of pictures, especially if they are framed behind glass, you can also consider hanging fabric objects like tapestries, quilts, or even an attractive rug.
And the most effective non-treatment thing you can do with acoustic effects is always working with your speaker and listening position placement.
