I think it will look fine. It's a neutral color carpet that will blend right in!
I agree I think it will look nice too!
Even though I am a big fan of painted wood, I think you might regret painting the stairs. The paint will chip and the white will show dust and dirt. Since your other floors appear to be wood, I think the sisal with the wood on each side will look great.
I would paint, not carpet. Having had both types of stairs, non carpeted is far easier to keep clean. I prefer a quick sweep and /or wipe versus lugging a vacuum up and down the stairs. Carpet also hangs on to allergens and dirt.
That does change things. Maybe sand and stain them gray instead of painting them. It will hold up better and still let the wood grain show through.
It's been a work in progress but this is what we went with. Vinyl plank flooring and white oak stained gray on the stairs. We also added wainscot. It's been over a year and is holding up well with three dogs running up and down the stairs.
