2. Dark Stone Countertops and Backsplashes
Why It Works:
Dark natural stone—granite, soapstone, marble, or quartzite—adds organic depth and drama to the kitchen.
How to Style It:
- Choose veined black marble or textured granite for a bold look.
- Extend the stone up the backsplash for a seamless, luxurious effect.
- Balance with dark cabinetry or warm wood tones.
Pro Tip: Use a honed (matte) stone finish instead of polished for a more understated, moody look.
