Recently featured in New England Home, this kitchen exemplifies a stunning design centered on black marble. As the main work area for the cook and with stools for gathering, the black marble island serves as a strong focal point. The silver, white and gray calcite streaks of the black marble's natural movement are emphasized as they are pulled to provide the color pallet for the rest of the kitchen. Inspired by the colors of the marble, the stainless steel lighting fixtures and white Caesarstone countertops break up the almost all-black design that is created with black cabinetry, black floors and the black leather chairs.

Although we love the way this kitchen looks, we at Marble and Granite know that marble countertops are not always ideal for the kitchen. But what we want our readers to know is that you can achieve this same stunning look in your kitchen with black granite. With variegated white, silver and gray movement similar to marble, black granite will additionally offer the durability required for the kitchen. Take a look at the black granite and white Caesarstone options we offer here at Marble and Granite that could be used to make a magazine-worthy kitchen design.
