5.1 setup help? Really need advice

Hey, guys, I want to put 5.1 in my bedroom and am unsure how to do it. As you can see in the pictures, one wall is at least 4 feet closer than my other wall. Where should I put the 2 surrounding speakers? One solution I had was to put one on the wall and put the other on a stand but that would be in the way and be inconvenient. Where could I put them? On top of my bed? On the sides of my bed? On the ceiling corners tilted down? any suggestions? If you need more pics let me know. (Dont mind the paint, trying to pick a color).

Do they make speaker mounts with "arms" like TV stands have?

I don't think it's a bad idea to mount one of them, or both of them.
