Top colours to use with a matt black worktop for a stunning finish

Gloss is a word we hear often but a gloss finish is not always right for a space. Depending on the colour you choose, the other furnishings in the room and the overall look you want, a matte worktop may be the best choice.

For kitchen colour schemes that include black, matt black worktops are often the first choice. Matt black worktops deliver a softer finish and more subtle look than a black worktop. For colours like pastels or styles such as a laid back country, kitchen look an elegant matt black kitchen worktop may be the preference.

If you want a kitchen with a more relaxed feel, already have gloss finishes on other furnishings or have a bright kitchen that would look completely overdone with a gloss finish, read on for the top colours you can pair with your matt black worktop.

Top colours to use with a matt black worktop for a stunning finish

1. Pastels: A matt black countertop accompanied by some carefully chosen matt black furnishings is the most elegant way to do pastels. Add light mint green cabinets to the look for the height of sophistication. Finish the space with white, light grey or matching pastel walls plus plenty of glass and warm metallics for a chic look.

Other options for pastel shades that work well with this look include light pink or peach.

2. Go dark: For the most soothing refined look, make your cabinets matt black or a suitably dark shade like midnight blue or dark grey. You’ll create a continuous stream of rich dark, uniform colour that are mesmerising.

Warm up the look with warm wood flooring and other wooden accents dotted here and there, plus softly glowing ambient lighting. Alternatively, brighten things up with splashes of white on the walls and shelves and stone flooring.

3. Brights: A matt black kitchen worktop is ideal if you want to use colour. From a splashback to chairs or a set of cabinets, well placed statement pieces with vibrant colour in a matt primary shade always look effective.

Of course, when you choose black the entire rainbow is open to you so if you want to move beyond matt shades of red, blue or yellow, you can experiment with any colour. Stick to a few statement splashes of matt brights to keep the look balanced.

4. White: Of course, the classic pairing of white walls and a matt black worktop is the epitome of chic. For the perfect finish add mid-brown wood and warm metallic fittings for a kitchen that would make Karl Lagerfeld proud.
