Removing carpet is quite quick if it is not glued down. Scraping it off takes much longer. Just don’t be surprised at how disgusting it looks. Click laminate or similar is quite easy to install.

I think you're worrying too much about it. Better invest your time in the new thing and not in the temporary solution.

For the tiles, you go to the hardware store and take the store-brand tile paint, and if you want, you follow the instructions, and if not, that's just how it is (sanding, etching blah blah). The next person will knock it all out anyway.

Laying carpet is no big deal, really not. You order a bit bigger than needed, lay it straight, and cut it off in the corner of the room with a carpet knife. If it ripples somewhere or is cut a bit too short on the sides, I wouldn't care either. It has to be cheap. You have a crawling child, if I remember correctly, so a grubby carpet would already be important to me. €5/sqm and that's it. In case of doubt, I'd just lay it on top and glue it in some spots to the one underneath so it doesn't slip. Like I said, only for a year.

I never thought of putting carpet over it again. I'm such an anti-carpet person. No idea, I somehow always find carpets unhygienic, even if they don't look filthy. Do you think you could lay click laminate over the carpet if you deep clean it well beforehand? I've seen those for around 6€ / m² already. That would do for a year.

I've been thinking, we could get a cheap side-by-side fridge as a refrigerator, which we could take to the new house later as a drinks fridge and for more frozen goods, etc. Then we could get an inexpensive kitchen unit from Ikea with: cooktop + oven, sink + trash bins, dishwasher (possibly just get the cabinet and the appliance cheaper).

And then improvise around the corner with a few wooden shelves or wine crate shelves. And I'd like to build a mobile kitchen island from our old Kallax shelves, a tabletop, and furniture casters so my husband has a bit more workspace. This way, the costs for the "new parts" of the kitchen could shrink to about 2k, and I think after maybe using it once we could easily get rid of it to a student.

Alternatively, we could install this variant, but then we'd be out about €4600:

Cheap you want/have to build again.
