One of the main features that make a kitchen both stylish and functional is a smart sink, backsplash, and countertop combination. Each of these features is important on its own but also complements one another.

While the primary purpose of a backsplash is to protect your kitchen’s wall from splashes of water or food, it can also serve as an eye-catching focal point, helping to set the atmosphere of the space. Additionally, choosing the right countertop material is essential because it needs to be durable while also complementing sink style and the overall aesthetic of the kitchen.

When it comes to sinks, pull-down kitchen faucets have become an increasingly popular design aspect since they are easy to install and are very functional, making it easy to wash dishes and clean the sink.

When combined well, the sink and faucet, backsplash, and countertop can create a cohesive, high-end look perfect for any kitchen. But with so many product options to choose from, it can quickly get overwhelming when trying to choose the best slab or tile for countertops and backsplashes to complement each other, as well as your kitchen sink and faucet.

To make it easier to choose the best slab or tile for your kitchen design – and to match your personality and style – we’ve compiled a few lovely combinations that would look beautiful in a variety of kitchens.

Best Tile to Complement Pull-Down Kitchen Faucets

The latest trend in kitchen design is faucets with a pulldown sprayer – also called pull-down kitchen faucets. These faucets stand out, adding personality and style to your kitchen.

However, they also provide functional benefits. They allow for more control and provide a variety of spraying patterns that can make washing dishes easier and more efficient.

When you have a pull-down kitchen faucet, the tile or slab you choose for the backsplash and countertop surrounding the sink will make a huge difference in the overall look of this space. Picking the right products can pull the entire design together and create the kitchen of your dreams.

White Quartzite Countertop & Backsplash

For a simple, classic option that makes an impression, use white quartzite for both the countertop and backsplash. Pairing a pull-down kitchen faucet with white quartzite tile creates a timeless, crisp look. The faucet makes a bold statement, and the clean look of white quartzite lends a light. traditional charm.

This combination checks all the boxes on both style and functionality and works well in both rustic and modern kitchens. Dakar Quartzite (pictured above) and Diamond Crystal Quartzite are two stunning options.

Honed Marble Backsplash

Marble is timeless, highly durable, and just plain gorgeous to look at. CS-Calacatta Gris Honed Marble, CS-Bianco Venatino Marble, and Olympian White Honed Marble are a few luxurious types of marble that pair beautifully with a pull-down kitchen faucet when used as a backdrop. Diamond Crystal Quartzite is a great countertop choice, as it is a lovely complement to both the marble backsplash and pull-down faucet (see picture above).

Just keep in mind that, while marble is durable, it’s porous so it will need more upkeep than some other product options, such as porcelain and ceramic tile.

Black and White Patterned Backsplash

If you want a tile backsplash that makes a statement, a black and white patterned tile is an elegant and chic option. There are so many unique black and white tile patterns available – the Petal Noir/Blanc Marble pictured above being a top favorite – making it easy to create a unique backsplash that stands out behind your pull-down kitchen faucet.

Black and white patterned tile is also versatile, as it provides a great contrast to white cabinets to create a light, fresh look. It also works well with black cabinets for a more dramatic ambiance.

Black Granite Countertop

Black granite comes in an array of shades and finishes and is a great way to add a luxurious look to a kitchen. Our Black Mist Honed Granite (pictured above) has some white quartz veins along with areas of gray, with a black background. This stone has a similar look to soapstone, but with the benefit of requiring less maintenance.

Black granite provides a classic interior design element for a kitchen and, when combined with white cabinets or used next to white granite or white marble, it creates a dynamic black and white look.

However, if you have black cabinets, black granite may still work. Believe it or not, black-on-black kitchen designs don’t have to end up looking and feeling dark. If your kitchen is in an area of your house that gets a lot of natural light, you can take the opportunity to be bold with your kitchen design. When black cabinets and black countertops (and even black flooring) are paired with a stainless steel pull-down faucet, stainless steel appliances, and perhaps even a mirrored backsplash to make the sunlight work to your advantage, it can create a stunning kitchen space that leaves a lasting impression.
