Black faucet with grey sink?

Miranda Glaeser

Did anyone do a black faucet on a grey sink, would love to see pics. I know a black sink would probably look best with a black faucet but I really like the look of grey sinks (Elkay and Blanco). Thanks!

Hi Sarah, we actually went with a black Elkay sink. We were nervous at first but we love how it turned out! We still need to add backsplash and a few other things, but here is what it looks like now. Hope it helps.

It's hard to comment on this without knowing the rest of the elements in the kitchen. What else have you chosen? What kind of sink - a farmhouse sink or undermount?

Gray ???? So many greys and to be honest IMO the best material for a kitchen sink is always stainless and then the whole issue is solved .

I think it will look great. My sink is black-there's some black in my granite. My faucet is stainless as new appliances are stainless and new cabinet hardware is brushed nickel.

It's more important to choose a faucet that goes with the look and feel of the whole kitchen. I don't a see stainless sink (and, my fav. type of sink) as a focal point or something that needs to be matched. Your eyes will be drawn to other kitchen "jewelry." And, yes, all these decisions are tough...there are so many of them. Sorry about your other problems.

What color sink with black concrete, white cabinets, gold faucet?

I'd vote for a white sink. The problem with black is that you can't see the grunge when it gets grungy. The white is classic, will go with your gold faucet and will complement your white cabinets.

What did you end up doing? I'm debating the same thing now for our powder room. It already has a white pedestal sink. We are painting the bathroom a very light beige and replacing all the current chrome with either brushed nickel or black (vanity light, towel ring, TP holder and faucet) and I can't decide which.

White cabinets with black handles, mercury quartzite counter and undermount sink. Work has not started, so I don’t have pics yet. Patricia, I’m just not a fan of the stainless sinks.

Hi Miranda, I’m planning a similar kitchen: white cabinets, black handles, light gray quartzite counters. I’m planning a Blanco undermount sink in white or gray. What did you choose for your sink and could you share a picture please? TIA!
