We're not just trying to make fetch happen — two-toned cabinets are it.
By Sienna Fantozzi, House Beautiful
A kitchen reno takes a lot of time, effort, and financial resources, so being realistic, there aren't really "do-overs" allowed. Before you embark on yours, check out what's hot when it comes to your kitch. If you're questioning your decisions, at least you can rest assured that if you follow anything on this list, you're totally on trend.

Matte Black Appliances
Stainless steel has had its time — the latest must-have appliances are a sleek matte black that won't show every little fingerprint, like GE Appliances' new Cafe Collection.

If your anxiety level is skyrocketing just looking at this picture, the two-toned trend probably isn't for you. But if you can handle a little bit of chaos, try this out in your kitch. It'll add character to an otherwise neutral space.

We're forever obsessed with smart storage ideas. This kitchen has a built-in space for the toaster and coffeemaker to reduce counter clutter.

Instant Pots
Instant Pots are happening in a big way, so if you haven't jumped on the bandwagon yet, now is the time. They're a multi-use cooker that dramatically cut down on how long you spend making dinner, and they can be used for everything from whipping up chicken alfredo to cheesecake.

Clean Lines
Appliances can be state of the art without completely overwhelming your space. This simple, sleek kitchen is insanely sexy, but totally minimalist.
Personalized Tiles
Imagine creating a custom backsplash in under 60 seconds. With Fireclay Tile's online Color-It! tool, you can select a pattern and palette from more than 100 options and watch as your digital tile fills with vibrant color. Once you order, your design will be delivered within six weeks.

Colorful Juicers
If you're all about the juicing craze, the Vita Juicer offers both "slow" juicing (the one that's good for leafy greens) and "fast" juicing (the one that macerates whole fruit in seconds). Plus, it has a spout that locks in an upright position to eliminate drips, a quiet motor, and dishwasher-safe parts.

All-Purpose Bakeware
Freezer-, fridge-, oven-, microwave- and dishwasher-safe — yeah, it totally exists. Creo's Smartglass combines tempered glass (sturdy) with a ceramic exterior (pretty) in a range of nostalgic colors. Choose from nesting bowls, baking dishes, or pie and loaf pans.

Golden Accents
Rose gold, brass, and copper finishes are here to stay on gadgets, hardware, and appliances. Warm finishes bring a homey luxury and pair well with many cabinet colors.

Transformative Taps
Hiding below these unassuming spouts are innovative systems that will transform plain water into sparkling water, or even into a perfectly brewed café au lait.
