The Stone

See the natural beauty of Liem Dark up close — the surface texture, colour depth, and veining that make this porcelain unique.

Colour:

Dark Grey Brown

A warm dark grey-brown porcelain with fine white veining — the rich middle ground of the Liem family where warmth meets depth.

XTone Liem Dark occupies the warm middle ground of the Liem trilogy. Where Liem Black is cool and commanding and Liem Grey is light and versatile, Liem Dark offers a rich dark grey-brown tone with genuine warmth. Earthy undertones and fine white veining create a surface that feels grounding and sophisticated. Available in Nature, Polished, and Silk finishes and up to 20mm thickness, Liem Dark creates warm yet moody kitchen worktops, bathroom vanities, and feature walls. It pairs naturally with lighter timbers and warm metals like brushed brass.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Liem Dark

How warm is Liem Dark compared to Liem Black?
Liem Dark is noticeably warmer than Liem Black. Its rich dark grey-brown base has earthy taupe undertones that give it genuine warmth, distinguishing it from the cooler violet-grey tone of Liem Black. Where Liem Black is cool and commanding, Liem Dark is rich and grounding.
Is Liem Dark available for kitchen worktops?
Yes — Liem Dark is available in 6mm, 12mm, and 20mm thicknesses. The 20mm version makes a particularly sumptuous kitchen worktop, combining the warmth of its brown-grey tones with the premium edge profile that 20mm enables. It is one of the finest dark surfaces in the XTone range for worktop applications.
What cabinet colours work well with Liem Dark?
Liem Dark pairs beautifully with warm neutral cabinetry — cream, warm white, warm grey, and natural timber all complement its earthy tones. It also creates a striking tonal statement with forest green or olive cabinetry. Brushed bronze and warm brass hardware bring out its warm undertones spectacularly.
Is Liem Dark suitable for bathroom use?
Yes — Liem Dark in the Silk or Polished finish creates deeply luxurious bathroom vanity tops and feature walls. Its warm dark grey-brown tone evokes high-end spa design, and as XTone porcelain it is completely waterproof with no risk of water marks, staining, or deterioration over time.
How does the veining in Liem Dark compare to Liem Black?
Both Liem Dark and Liem Black have fine, consistent white veining — this is the family characteristic. In Liem Dark, the veining appears slightly warmer and softer against the brown-grey base, creating a gentler contrast than the starker white-on-black quality of Liem Black. The overall effect is warmer and more organic.
★★★★★
"Excellent Service and Beautiful Results - Highly Recommended! I recently had In2stone install new quartz worktops in my kitchen, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was completely stress-free. The team was not only competitively priced but also incredibly friendly and professional throughout the entire process. They handled everything seamlessly - removing the existing sink, hob, and old laminate worktops before fitting the new quartz surfaces. The finished worktops are absolutely beautiful and have transformed my kitchen into a modern, minimalist space that I love spending time in. The quality of workmanship is outstanding, and the attention to detail really shows. I'm a very satisfied customer and would highly recommend In2stone to anyone considering new worktops. Well done to the entire team - you've exceeded my expectations!"
