Using black countertops on your kitchen cabinets doesn’t always mean that it will darken your kitchen. But instead, it can add warmth and make your place feel more inviting and modern. Black kitchen countertops are making their comeback with a matte/honed finish rather than a glossy finish, for a more modern and elevated look. Check out the examples below for inspiration on your next kitchen design that is sure to make an impact.

The contrast between the striking quartz countertop against the more calm subway tile is our favorite in this kitchen.

Pairing it with a more affordable backsplash will not detract from the beauty of the countertops, if anything it will allow them to shine more.
