These days, pretty much every countertop material is available in black. Laminate is the most affordable and the most popular countertop material. It’s easy to clean, but hard or even impossible to repair depending on the damage. Concrete is an increasingly popular choice for countertops. The material is more affordable than many natural or engineered stone. It can be stained to appear any shade of black. Many people prefer the look of natural stone because of the different colors and patterns available. Granite is a solid choice, but manufactured quartz is gaining popularity.

What Are Black Countertops Cons?

Fingerprints, water rings, and soap residue are more visible, be ready to clean and clean until you are satisfied. Cleaning them may seem more involved if you’re not used to wiping your countertops daily. If paired with dark cabinets or wall colors, they can make a small space feel even smaller.

What Colors Go Best With Black Countertops?

Ideally, you want everything else in the kitchen to be light. Whether the space is small or large, keeping everything else light offers a nice contrast. For the floor, you can either match the cabinets or the counters. A lighter floor makes the space feel larger, and that is best for a small kitchen. A darker floor gives the space a luxurious flair. If you’re afraid of the space looking too boring, add some color! Black is neutral and pairs well with anything. You can go totally bold with a color on the wall or add color with small accents or linens.
