No don't lay over carpet it's too soft as for the tiles yes you can lay over them using an underlay appropriate for that but you will most probs find the heights of the adjoining floors will be substantially different

Hi you cant laminate over carpet it's to soft and bouncy but you can laminate over tiles.if when you take carpet up it's different levels you can use ply or self level compound to bring it level .use a decent laminate underlay as it makes huge difference

Laminate flooring can be fitted over tiles, in the kitchen I would recommend lvt flooring which is waterproof, in your living room carpet has to be lifted and you have a endless choice of laminate, to install,
