When you think of countertop trends, the first thing that comes to mind is probably a bright, white kitchen. While we can’t deny the alluring nature of that look, we’re here to open your mind to something a little different—dark stone countertops. More specifically, dark quartz countertops.
In this article, we’ll share a bit about the four of our favorite dark quartz countertops that you absolutely have to see. But first, let’s get into the “why” behind dark stone countertops.
Dark Stone—What’s So Great about It?
There’s no question that your kitchen sees wear and tear on a daily basis, and while white countertops may be stunning, they’ll show every bit of that use. Dark quartz countertops, on the other hand, use their chic looks to hide imperfections—and they never compromise aesthetics or functionality to make it happen.
If you want something tough and durable that still looks the cool and classy, then dark stone countertops should be your number one choice.
Here are a few more benefits of choosing a dark-colored stone:
- You’ll enjoy a dramatic look in your kitchen.
- They offer a classic aesthetic that will never go out of style.
- The sharp contrast breathes life into the room.
Four Dark Quartz Countertops
Now that we’ve gone over the greatness behind dark stone countertops, let’s get into our four favorite variations:
1. Midnight Majesty
Midnight Majesty quartz is loved by designers and homeowners alike. It has a mid-tone gray background with subtle flecks, and it’s a low variation of black quartz—and this makes it useful as a neutral surface. If you keep your cabinetry light in the room where this countertop is installed, you’ll most definitely notice the way it shines.
2. Fossil Brown
Dark quartz doesn’t just mean black and gray—it can mean brown too, even though it’s not a shade most people think of. Fossil Brown has a mid-tone brown background with slight shading and delicate veins, and it’s known for the warmth and character that it adds to space.
Putting this quartz with neutral-colored stone or tile is a great way to make the richness of its pigment really pop.
3. Shadow Gray
If you like the look of concrete but you’re in the market for something a bit more durable, Shadow Gray quartz is your answer. This shade has subtle tones of iron, onyx, and pewter, and it fits the parameters of “industrial chic.” But, that said, it works alongside almost any style of interior, whether you’re looking for a cool and modern aesthetic or something on the traditional side.
4. Mirano Gray
For many, keeping it simple is the way to go—and Mirano Gray is the perfect option in that case. It doesn’t have any flecks or veins; it’s a smooth and light gray that works in any style of kitchen or bathroom. It’s sleek and classy and looks great when used as a countertop, flooring, backsplash, or even an accent wall.
Dark and Dashing Quartz
Dark quartz countertops add personality to your space that’s difficult to achieve with any other shade. If you’re interested in learning more about this design choice, reach out to Wallstone Stone Countertops today!
