White quartz countertops might be the most popular option out there, but black quartz is an up-and-coming contender. Much like white quartz, black quartz is a versatile option, meaning it can be classic or modern, bold or understated, all depending on how you style it. Either way, black quartz is striking and unique.
Let’s talk about some of our favorite black quartz surfaces for your next bathroom or kitchen remodel.
Cambria Black
Part of Cambria’s Signature Series, Cambria Black is an instant classic. It’s a solid black quartz that’s minimalist yet eye-catching. While it works beautifully as a kitchen countertop, we also love seeing it as a bathroom or shower backsplash.
Black Rock
Named for a city in Arkansas, Black Rock might appear like a solid black surface at first glance, but its charcoal veining sets it apart from other options. The moody gray veining creates abstract shapes, giving this black quartz surface texture and character.
Blackbrook
This quartz features white veining across a black backdrop, creating a striking contrast. Blackbrook can work within any kitchen style, though we think it’s a distinctively modern countertop option – especially when used as a waterfall-style kitchen island.
Blackpool
It comes as no surprise that Blackpool is part of Cambria’s Luxury Series given its rich, ebony color. Blackpool is an ideal quartz countertop for modern and bold kitchens, and it comes in both a matte and satin finish.
Charlestown
Charlestown is a softer, more faint black quartz with light gray and white veining that is technically more charcoal gray than pure black. The subtle hues make it less loud and bold than other black quartz counters, though it’s still a striking design choice.
Woodcroft
If you want a black quartz surface that looks like soapstone then Woodcroft is for you. Woodcroft has a rich black backdrop with shimmering gold veining. The end result is both bold and luxurious.
Menai
Menai has a deep black base and silver sparkles scattered throughout, mimicking the look of the night sky. It’s mesmerizing yet not overpowering, allowing it to fit in seamlessly with a sleek, modern kitchen design.
Mersey
Much like Menai, Mersey’s design takes a page from the natural world: It has a glassy black base with white striations that look like lightning. This black quartz counter looks particularly best within modern spaces, and is another option that looks especially best as a waterfall-style kitchen island.
