Completely black kitchens have gradually made way for light, earthy kitchen tones, but the matte black sink area remains popular. The matte black color creates a beautiful contrast with light surfaces. This contrast adds structure, frames the space, and draws attention amidst light beige or gray kitchen tones. A black sink area is easy to combine with other black details, such as kitchen cabinet handles, appliances, décor items, or a black dining table and chairs. Whether used all together or separately, black accents tie the space together, creating a balanced and structured look.

The sink area is a visible and central part of the kitchen, so its appearance is often given special attention. A stylish and well-matched sink setup is the most frequently used spot in the kitchen, making it worth investing in. The key components of the kitchen water station—sink, faucet, and sink accessories such as a soap dispenser, remote drain control, vegetable bowl, and cutting board—should match the overall design both visually and functionally.

Combine black with light or dark tones

A black sink is a beautiful match when combined with all kinds of countertop colors and materials. It pairs especially well with today's trendy and popular stone and ceramic countertops, whether the surface is a lighter marble or a deep black. With all gray-toned countertops, a matte black sink color is a subtle yet stylish and always reliable choice.

With lighter surfaces, it's a good idea to extend the black color to the kitchen faucet and possibly other design elements in the kitchen. Black elements can be used in greater or smaller quantities, depending on how prominently black is desired and whether other black objects or furniture are included in the interior.

A black sink is also a perfect choice with wooden or wood-effect countertops. It enhances the natural beauty of wood by deepening its tone while maintaining its own distinct presence. The stone-like natural surface of Silgranit sinks complements the organic look of wood. Black adds contrast while blending elegantly into a wooden countertop.

A black sink area can be designed partially or entirely black, depending on the surrounding space, its colors, and personal preferences. Blanco Silgranit sinks come with a standard stainless steel InFino drain strainer, which can easily be replaced with a fully black InFino strainer and overflow cover. This allows a matte black sink to be styled in a completely black look down to the finest details.

The only fully matte black kitchen sink color

All models in the Blanco composite sink collection are available in matte black or anthracite. The matte black Silgranit sink color is the only fully uniform black on the market, without the characteristic “speckled” appearance often found in black sinks. Its deep black surface has a stylishly calm and understated look. For those seeking a truly deep black kitchen sink, the matte black color is the perfect choice.

Silgranit anthracite, on the other hand, is a traditional black sink color with a slight “speckled” effect. From a distance, both sink colors appear black, but their difference becomes noticeable upon closer inspection.

Matching kitchen faucets are available for both black sink colors. The angular Lino-A and the rounder Round-A in matte black and anthracite are classic faucets with a dishwasher connection. The new Lino-SA faucet, featuring a detachable spray head, is also available in both matte black and anthracite. The pull-out spray head makes it easier to rinse dishes and clean the entire sink.

To simplify the selection of a black kitchen sink and faucet, we have created a range of sink + faucet sets, making it convenient to choose the best option for your kitchen. A sink and faucet set is also a cost-effective way to purchase both elements together. Some sets even include an all-black package with a stylish matte black InFino drain strainer and an overflow cover plate to complete the seamless black look.
