Black and white is an iconic color combination when it comes to bathroom design. A common way this contrast is carried out is with black bathroom countertops. When paired with a largely white bathroom, black countertops act as an accent to help anchor your space. A black bathroom countertop will often be paired with a white vanity, but don’t overlook the rustic farmhouse appeal of laying a black countertop over stained wood cabinets.
Many homeowners will also choose to use black granite countertops in their bathrooms for a more textured and interesting appearance. To finish things off, install black fixtures, cabinet hardware, mirrors, and vanity lights throughout the rest of the bathroom so you have the complete look.

Interior designer Huong Vu suggests a compelling approach to creating a serene, spa-like atmosphere in a bathroom. “Achieve a serene spa atmosphere in a bathroom by installing a thick monolithic countertop. The bold presence of the dark countertop layers well with the soft elements of the wood frame and faint geometric floor tiles,” she advises.
This idea of pairing a light wood washstand with a black countertop is a perfect illustration of Vu’s vision. The stark contrast between the dark, bold countertop and the light wood washstand creates a dynamic yet balanced aesthetic. The silver metal rectangular mirror mounted above the washstand further enhances the minimalist lines Vu mentions, adding a touch of modernity to the space.
