Granite Kitchen Countertops with Dark Cabinets

Oscuro Mist Satin is a black granite from India with long, consistent white veins. This attractive granite makes a beautiful countertop for any kitchen, especially one with dark cabinets. Although combining black and brown may seem unnatural at first, as we see here, it is certainty an extraordinary design scheme when executed tastefully. The white kitchen island and the abundance of space are able to lighten up the area despite the prominent dark features. Additionally, the honed surface of the Oscuro Mist Satin countertops adds a unique textual dimension to this kitchen.

Light Brown Granite with Dark Cabinets

Giallo Ornamental, also known as Amarillo Ornamental, and Giallo Santo, is an attractive, speckled granite filled with natural brown and grey colors, which achieve a simple, yet refined style for kitchens with dark cabinets. Because of this granite’s predominantly white base, it allows the room to appear large and spacious, even though the area between the countertop and refrigerator is relatively snug. Additionally, stainless steel appliances also help to create the illusion of space, by reflecting lights from the windows and the attractive hanging fixtures.

Complimentary Countertops for Dark Cabinets

Tan Brown is an Indian granite, also known as Chestnut Brown, and Copper Antique, which features a consistent speckled pattern of black, brown and dark red throughout the stone. In this recently renovated kitchen, the rich brown and red hues of Tan Brown have inspired dark cherry wooden cabinets and breakfast bar stools to match.
