Backsplash for black granite countertops and oak cabinets

A marble backsplash with black granite countertops can make such a perfect pair. White and gray marble is one of the best types of backsplash for black countertops. Classic stone tile can make a perfect backsplash for dark countertops.

Match Your Oak Cabinets with a Black Counter Black countertops. In fact, I've never seen a black counter that didn't look great on oak cabinets. Black counters are modern but can still work for traditional and casual spaces. Solid black and black stone with variations are great picks.

The design should be used to balance out the light and dark shades of the other elements, so if you have light cabinets and countertops, you may want to choose a dark backsplash to bring more depth to the kitchen. If you have very dark cabinets or countertops, a light backsplash will help the kitchen feel fresh.

Because oak wood has a warm undertone to it, cool colors and neutrals with cool undertones contrast well with it. Therefore, if you want to accentuate your oak cabinets, opt for backsplash tiles and materials that are gray, white, blue, purple or green. This results in an overall dramatic effect for the space.
