What was the color/brand of the Countertop above the white cabinets?

10 years ago

We are thinking of doing black counter slab but have antique white cabinets and our appliances are black, wondering if it would tie it in or be too much contrast, the drawer/cabinet nobs would be black as well.

A lot of our customers do high contrast between their countertops, cabinets, and appliances. Many designers seem to prefer contrasting tones over trying to match.

I have attached photos of kitchens with white cabinets and dark Craft Art countertops that show high contrast. (We make wood countertops, so that's all I have photos of!) The first three photos show the species Wenge and the last photo shows Black Walnut. Wenge is almost totally black in color while (confusingly enough) Black Walnut is a dark brown color.

I hope the photos help!

I like the black walnut top, it still has enough warm tones to it :)

I AM HAVING THE SAME LAY OUT INCLUDING THE WINDOW. LOVE THAT. I WILL NOT HAVE FRAMED OPENINGS ON EITHER SIDE. JUST THE WALL WITH SINK AND WINDOW. WHAT IS THE BRAND OF THE WINDOW?
