Removing a tiled floor

Mine are large and cheap ugly beige tiles.  A friend recommended I get a stencil and paint them with a special tile paint by Rustoleum. I can't be bothered.

My brother is getting some tiles removed in his house at the moment. Unfortunately they are firmly attached and are being removed with a jackhammer. A big, and noisy, job. 

I'm interested in putting something on top of my tiles (on a part of the house with a solid floor). They look nice, but are cold underfoot. I certainly wouldn't go as far as removing them. 

Could you laminate over them? But wouldn’t it mean the door frame needing trimmed? Or maybe a carpet?

I wouldn't go for carpet in the kitchen. I'm considering lino of some type. E.g. self-adhesive tiles.

If I put laminate over those tiles would it mean every door frame needs trimmed? As I could run it all way to hall from living room so it’s same level of floor? But my fear is every door frame needs cut? If I do it one room wouldn’t there be a height gap? I know I could get vinyl laminate sticky tiles but may not be as good?

Door frames wouldn't need to be cut. But the bottoms of the doors would need trimming.

What about just one new door or would there be a step up gap as the other floor may be lower?

So laminate over the tiles and cut doors is best option here rather than full tiles removal?

Yes true but would like to find the best option
