Similar to the above design, this island also boasts white cabinets with textured black marble. Within the conversation of cleanability, black granite is glorious because of how durable it is and it hides all stains! I love a dark countertop for numerous reasons, but its ability to disguise all messes is number one in my book.
Be mindful, however, about installing a completely dark island in a small kitchen. “I advise against choosing a darker color for a kitchen island in smaller spaces, as it can create a feeling of confinement,” advises interior designer Neha Kaimal. Instead consider lighter palettes for both small spaces and areas with multiple dark elements for a more open and balanced kitchen design.
