In very large spaces-think gymnasiums- large non-absorbent surfaces can be sonic nightmares, but in a home environment all you really have to take care with is that you follow the normal rules that you seem to be well aware of. Usually there are enough absorbtive materials in the home, such as carpet, furniture, drapes etc, to counteract all but the most problematic room dimensions and wall surfaces. Where you have to take special care to eliminate any parallel walls and flat surfaces is when there are little or no absorbtive materials present. On the other hand, if you're starting from scratch designing a house and have the opportunity to eliminate a flat ceiling in your listening room by all means go for it. A dome shape is sonically the best choice, but if that doesn't work with the overall scheme of the house a vaulted ceiling is still far preferable to a flat one.
Your present problems with the stucco, a very reflective surface, can be countered by putting as many absorbtive materials as possible into the room, the most important one being wall to wall carpet. Drapes and upholstered furniture are also a must.
