Kitchen

Considering black kitchen countertops for your next renovation? Find inspiration in each of these kitchens with gorgeous black counters.

Within minutes of walking into the warehouse, I had chosen our slab. A near-black quartz in a matte finish, it’s exactly what I envisioned for the black kitchen countertops in our home.

However, you might not be certain about black countertops. Since counters are a pricey investment, I’m here to help you do some research.

In each of these 12 homes, you’ll see examples of black countertops in:

  • homes with a variety of decorating styles,
  • matte and gloss finishes,
  • high-end kitchen remodels and budget-friendly makeovers,
  • various materials (including quartz, soapstone, granite, and more).

Our Black Kitchen Counters

I chose black countertops for the drama. With gray kitchen cabinets and a white faux brick backsplash, the color palette would be fairly monotone with light counters, too.
