Unless you know the mix of grass seed in your lawn you're unlikely to get a match for the new area with sees or turf, so it could be a long-term programme of re-seeding over couple of seasons to blend the new and the old.

Turf is more expensive but will give almost instant lawn, after the effort of preparing the ground.

Another option might be to reshape the lawn and flower beds so that you move the turf from one area to another and that removes the problem of mismatched new & old turf.
