Well, it's possible but problematic. One thing is the tile would need to be busted up along the walls to install the tack strip for stretching the carpet. If grout lines are a problem they could be filled in with a floor leveler material but that might make the tile unusable in the future. The full room carpet/rug would be the easier way to go.
