I agree with Allison that having as much as possible on site, or at least chosen with lead-times firmly established, is important to help your project flow more smoothly. After you have a vision of how you want the room to look (houzz.com is great for this), I think the order of choosing your materials depends on what is most important to you since many of your other choices will be based off of it. For us, it was most important to choose the granite first since we like dramatic granites with a lot of movement and that would definitely be the focal point in the room. Once we found our granite but before we committed to it, we found a tile that was the perfect complement. I didn't want it to be too plain and it had to be something that we loved since there would be so much of it. Once those decisions were made and materials ordered, we chose our faucets, lights, etc. The vanities were the "easy" part of the planning. We designed them ourselves and had them custom made by an Amish cabinet maker. We did have a complication at the end when they came in much darker than we had intended. Our cabinet maker was very apologetic and would have taken them back to restain them but we realized that although they were "wrong", they were actually a much better color in the room. We love them. If you have anything that is going to be particularly unique or challenging to find, that might be the place to start. If you get stuck along the way, posting pictures of your options here is a great way to get feedback. Here is a link that might be useful: Our master bath reveal

I’m not a fan of focal walls that are a different color, but if you want to do it, the wall the bed is on usually is the focal wall. Can you post of picture of that wall to see if it’s a suitable candidate? You have a lot going on with the other walls with different heights, ledges, vaults, etc. maybe not the best room for two colors. Normal photos, no panoramas, it’s hard to tell what we’re looking at with a distorted photo.

What's the optimal size for a shower in an average master bath? Ideally 4' x 5' seems to be optimal. Mine is 44" x 5' and works great. And a related question -- how much glass surround is optimal? I noticed one of the posters on the 10ft shower thread commented that 3 walls of glass made things chillier. I believe I was the one who pointed this out but the problem wasn't that it was chillier. The problem is having to clean (squeegee) all that glass every single time you shower. Otherwise you'll be constantly seeing spots and soap scum on the shower. Yes Showerguard will help with spots and soap scum, but not 100%. The problem wasn't the glass. It was having 10'. Also I just played a bit with your plan again and here are my reasons: In the second bath, I moved the shower to the wall against the existing bedroom. This way you have more room in the actual bathroom for moving around. This also one day could be a handicap accessible bath if needed. Plus now every time you need to use the sink, you don't have to first close the bathroom door just to walk around the door. I moved the entry to your master further into the hallway. This creates a bit more of an "entrance" into your bedroom and actually makes your bedroom a bit larger because you don't now have the doorway taking up space in the bedroom. Plus now the doorway isn't practically hitting the closet door. I flipped the shower and tub and the entry and vanities. Why? So the bathroom door to the closets is closer. Then I moved the bed to the right wall and the dresser to between the closets. This is the exact same size, but notice how more spacious it feels? Plus now one person doesn't have to cram into the space between the night table and closet opening to get to their clothes. (And yes, ideally no one should need to walk around the bed to get to the bathroom, but in this case, I feel the much improved layout trumps having to walk slightly around the bed.

In a bedroom the accent wall is usually the wall the bed is on. I assume since this room has a big closet this is a bedroom. Are you buying all new furniture for this room? If so, pick out the furniture and bed linens before choosing a paint color. There are hundreds of different paint colors, so you match the paint to the other elements in the room, not visa versa. Just keep in mind the floor color when choosing furniture. I can't tell you which color in a vacuum since I don't know what you would like and whether this is your room, a guest room or a child's room.
