Rip it out or leave it.

[edgeware]

Buying a newly built house. Developer has put a very cool-toned grey carpet throughout - stairs, landings, bedrooms and lounge.
I am already not a great carpet fan but have had neutral beige coloured before and been fine with them. But this carpet is SO grey. We have oak and walnut furniture, a beige bed, brown leather sofa etc. I think it will look odd with our stuff. (“cool” versus “warm”).
I want to just rip the lot out and replace with engineered oak/neutral carpet but feel ridiculous ripping new carpet out. Plus it will cost a bit as well.
What would you do? I just feel really annoyed they chose such a ‘strong’ colour!

Your living room looks lovely. Just to let you know, if you click on the pic you can see you've screen shot it from your gallery and can see tiny images of a child.

@NachoNachoMan thanks I didn't realise that! They are my LO!

I live the hoover lines too! It was a good quality carpet, so thick in fact that I sweat hoovering it because the dyson sticks to it like glue 🥴

Also like to add the fireplace has now been changed! The last bit of the awful decoration the previous owners left us with! Lol

It will be much easier to have it replaced before you move in. Could the developer take it out for you?

@iusedtohavechickens my camera roll is full of pics of my little ones too

Also new build, also just ripped out our downstairs grey carpet. Would replace the whole house with lighter cream as much nicer and make the house look more spacious. Couldn't justify doing it in one go do decided to tolerate it upstairs. I hate grey, made everything look dingy. Can't believe the difference engineered oak has made, and it didn't cost the earth

You could sell it on your local FB site, I've just moved into a new build HA house and they don't have flooring at all so I'm sure someone on your development would jump at the chance of buying it slightly cheaper (cost me a fortune to do mine!)
