It is truly amazing what a different color can do to a space. When going through with a kitchen renovation, it is extremely important to keep in mind the feeling or mood you want to elicit within your space. Counters, in particular, can set a precedent of luxury in your kitchen. 

Learn how to add luxury to your kitchen with luxury black countertops.

Why You Should Incorporate Black into Your Kitchen

Considering the bad publicity, the color black gets, you may be hesitant to add it into your kitchen as dark counters are unusual. Usually, the consensus will tell you that brighter is better in all circumstances and that it brightens up a space. However, any artist will tell you that it is about more than bright colors.

It is about the real balance between light and dark and their relationship with each other. In fact, the famous Japanese designer, Junichiro Tanizaki, in 1993, wrote the classic essay ‘In Praise of Shadows”. He celebrates the power of shadows to create balanced and peaceful spaces in it. 

He wrote: Whenever I see the alcove of a tastefully built Japanese room, I marvel at our comprehension of the secrets of shadows, our sensitive use of shadow and light.”

How to Decorate with Black Countertops

One of the best things about the color black is that it doesn’t show mess and dust like light colors do. That is why black stone counters are such a great way to add a clean space in your kitchen. There are so many different options for stunning dark counters.

From pristine black marble to black granite, there is a black stone counter for every style. Black countertops can be used to complement many different styles. They can be used for dynamic black and white looks with cabinets or next to white marble.

While black countertops certainly haven’t always been in style, they are making a huge difference in the way people decorate their homes. They create a modern and minimalistic feel to absolutely any home.
