March 11, 2025Kitchens often serve as a communal gathering space in the home, where family and friends prepare meals and socialize, and your kitchen is as unique as you are. It must fulfill your functional needs and provide the ambiance that makes you feel at home.
Our sophisticated and versatile collection of quartz countertops includes options to please every client.
If you’re looking for the ease of a low-maintenance surface paired with a touch of drama and personality, dark and dreamy designs fit the bill, with a luxurious feeling that enhances your interior design.
Dark quartz surfaces feature a contemporary aesthetic that pairs well with high-end designs and are an elegant addition to any kitchen space, offering the beauty and performance you expect.
Why Dark Quartz Is Ideal for Upscale Kitchens
One of the best reasons to choose quartz for your next kitchen upgrade is its exceptional versatility. Whether you prefer the appearance of marble-look quartz or a unique design, our collections offer various aesthetics, from calming neutrals to bold, statement-making patterns.
Dark, moody hues have undeniable depth and drama, and our offerings are ideal for styles like modern, minimalist interiors, open-concept floor plans, and any high-end kitchen design.
The rich feel of deep charcoal and black shades perfectly complements luxurious materials like contemporary cabinets, statement lighting, and metallic hardware and fixtures.
Functional Benefits of Quartz Countertops
In design, aesthetic appeal is secondary to practical function. Luckily, you’ll enjoy both benefits when you choose quartz for your kitchen countertops.
This surface material is strong and durable, delivering a heat resistant performance perfectly suited to the busy kitchen environment. Quartz is also resistant to scratches and stains, and the non-porous and antimicrobial surface is food-safe and easy to clean. Resilient, low-maintenance quartz requires no sealing or polishing.
MSI’s Top Dark Quartz Countertops for Your Home
With hues ranging from meditative grays to mysterious blacks, dark quartz colors are nothing if not impactful. Unique veining patterns add movement and depth to your space, and our stunning designs complement numerous styles and personal aesthetics. Which option is right for your kitchen revamp?
Calacatta Laza Grigio™![calacatta-laza-grigio-dark-quartz]()
Softly dramatic and intensely dimensional, Calacatta Laza Grigio™ mimics the appearance of soapstone with prominent, milky-white veins slicing across a background in dark gray.
This mid-tone neutral lends itself well to a rustic kitchen space dominated by nude wood flooring and cabinets, bulky ceiling beams in heavy-grained wood, and stacked stone wall treatments.
Modern light fixtures bring industrial flair to the scene and tie in with the grays and whites in the quartz countertop and backsplash. The tableau is calm and inviting, with the counter design as a focal element.
Midnight Corvo™![midnight-corvo-dark-quartz]()
Choosing contrasting design elements offers eye-catching appeal to create a visually arresting space with black quartz countertops. A predominantly white kitchen space can benefit from Midnight Corvo™ countertops in rich black.
A delicate veining pattern in cool white ties in with surrounding surfaces, while stainless steel appliances, an island base, and backsplash tile in pale gray hues soften the transition from dark to light.
Mystic Gray™![mystic-gray-dark-quartz]()
Like spectral clouds swirling over stormy seas, Mystic Gray™ quartz brings moody mystery to a sophisticated, upscale kitchen. With a wash of mid-tone gray featuring barely-there speckling to create subtle dimension, this design is the perfect match for a cozy yet contemporary space.
The gray pairs beautifully with modern cabinets in pale sage, a backsplash in white and gray pinstriping, and a bright white hood vent. Door and drawer hardware in a gunmetal finish brings depth to light-colored cabinets, while rich, honeyed wood-tone flooring adds warmth to the scene.
Marquina Midnight®![marquina-midnight-dark-quartz]()
Marble-look Marquina Midnight® quartz delivers more drama than a Broadway show, featuring a black background and striking white veins that flash like summer lightning across the inky surface.
Even so, it exudes refined style, especially when paired with tamer elements like flat panel mid-tone maple cabinets with a slightly reddish tint. Dark metallics add sophisticated styling for a stunningly simple but incredibly luxurious space.
Soapstone Metropolis®![soapstone-metropolis-dark-quartz]()
The slate gray background of Soapstone Metropolis® quartz gains extra interest and dimension from scarce, sketchy white veining ambling in long streaks across the surface for a subtle yet breathtaking display as the lines run over the sides of a waterfall island.
Perimeter countertops in the same quartz create a mid-tone transition between charcoal lower cabinets, a dove gray honeycomb tile backsplash, and white upper cabinets. Heavy-grained wood flooring and black accents (hood vent and lighting fixtures) help create a deeply dimensional, neutral space that feels rich and inviting.
Dark Can Be Dreamy
Whether you like a tranquil kitchen space or want to amp up the visual excitement, dark quartz countertops contribute to a modern design that feels luxe and engaging. Deep, dreamy gray and black hues bring personality to neutral spaces, creating the perfect starting point for subtle transitions and stark contrast.
