Is this opposed to decorating on the stereo speakers? Or do you just not like blank space around your speakers?

When uncertain about room acoustics, use the rule of thirds. Have the speakers seperated by one third the distance of the width of the wall on which they are aligned. Pull the speakers out by one third the length from the back wall.
NEVER place anything on the speakers unless they are vibration control devices.
Use the live end/dead end method of room placement with the speakers firing from the dead end into the live end.
If the room is carpeted, do not let the speaker wire touch the floor, as it will draw electrostatic energy into the system. Use a speaker wire suspension system.
I can go on and on, but remember that the end result is to have the ability to bring the likes of Ella Fitzgerald back to life, and that kind of beauty transcends superficial aesthetics.
