We'll probably be installing new carpet throughout our upstairs in a few weeks, and while my color scheme is "set" downstairs, I will eventually be changing some things upstairs, so I can be pretty flexible on carpet color.

The beige colors generally have some kind of color cast that is either pink (definitely ruled out), ivory, or gray. While the ivory would blend better with colors I have downstairs (ivory linen drapes, etc.), I'm wondering if if the greige trend is going to continue and become very popular.

Beige isn't just beige, you know? I look back to beige of a couple of decades ago, and much of it had a decidedly pinky peach cast and looks very dated now. Will ivory-beige look dated in a few years?

I'm definitely leaning towards a more ivory beige color, but don't want to get stuck with selling a house in three or four years with an outdated looking carpet.

Thanks!
