What do the stairs look like under the carpet? Hardwood? Plywood? If they are a nice hardwood you could just stop the carpet at the top with a nice finished edge and have the hardwood stairs left natural or stained.

I think it’s just plywood. And it appears it’s not even connected to the part with the spindles. Is that normal? Does that mean I have to keep it carpeted?

Hard to tell anything from the tiny photo you posted. What's at the bottom of the stairs? If it's hardwood, you could continue the wood up the stairs, but that is going to cost a pretty penny assuming stairs are plywood. If it's tile, I wouldn't change it.

I would definitely not change just the carpet on the stairs.

We changed our stairs + upstairs carpet about a year ago. We got high-end carpet and it cost us about $8k. Changing just the stairs to all wood would be quite a bit more than that, I think.

Not sure why it's killing the vibe of your entryway, either?

Carpet looks like it's in good shape - possibly even new - so maybe just live with it for awhile.

Looks like very nice carpet and appears to be in good shape and seems very neutral. What about it is interfering with your entryway vibe? Is it color or something else? Maybe there's a different solution.

Sorry, I had posted a few pics but only one is showing up for some reason. Here is a bigger picture of the entryway. I feel like the beige doesn’t work with the crisp, fresh black, white and gold tones

Lovely home. I personally don't find a clash, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It looks like you don't have a solid wood tread so I guess if you wanted you could rip out the carpet and replace with a carpet you prefer. As you just purchased, you may find it doesn't bother you once your decor is in. Good luck.

I agree the carpet does not work but IMO you wuld need to do at least the halland landing at the top of the stairs in the same wood as the main floor and stairs . I hate wall to wall carpet anywhere so if it was my home I would be planning on the whole upstairs to be done in wood for sure I love the B&W theme I do however not like the chandelier for 2 reasons 10 it does not light the staircase 2) it has all yellow casting bulbs that make all the nice white look yellow your floor looks very contemporary and certainly does not work with the beige carpet or IMO with that light fixture.

The treads are hardwood only on the edges. I had a house like that once. It's a less expensive way to build a staircase. You can replace the treads and make the entire tread hardwood or recarpet. Making the entire tread hardwood gets complex because you have to remove the balusters aka spindles and replace them on the new tread. I'd get pricing on changing the treads and on replacing the carpet and then decide how much you don't like it. You may learn to love it!

My guess is that if the treads aren't full hardwood, there is no hardwood under the carpet. That makes it tricky when you want to change carpet at the top. If you're serious about changing it and want to spend the $$, I'd go to a good carpet store, likely an independently owned one not a chain, and get advice on options.

But I"m in the camp of, the carpet is probably an expensive one and it looks in good shape.
