Tiling A Patio Villa

[Kennedy12]

Replacing carpet in a patio villa with tile in kitchen, living area, and bathrooms. Is it better to use a straight or diagonal pattern? Would love to see pics of anyone who has done this. Also, any recommendations on tile installers?

Diagonally will make the place appear larger but it's typically more expensive to install diagonally because there's more waste.
