A fabulous way to add extra space to a home that needs to grow with a family, extensions come in a variety of shapes and sizes, making them perfect for literally every house out there. Regardless of how awkward a proposed extension plot might be, a talented architect will be able to design something that will not only work well, but look great too. 

If you're under the impression that all extensions look the same and never quite blend well enough with the original property, prepare to have your mind blown! You won't believe just how creative you can get with your design, but if you need some convincing, just take a look at these…

1. Adding fantastic extra space to a traditional terrace, this angled-roof extension is amazing!

2. What a great way to blend a new addition with an existing house. The flat top perfectly mirrors the boxy main building

3. We love a contrast of old and new so this modern timber addition works well with a traditional semi-detached home

4. Wood and dark grey metal create an amazing contrast with the original house here and we love the brazen juxtaposition of old and new

5. To keep the light flowing in, why have a skylight when you can go for a fully glazed box design?

6. This full width, deep extension has really opened up the internal space, making open plan living a doddle!

7. Blink and you could miss this extension, thanks to the heritage-sympathetic design. Wow!

8. Even a narrow space can be expended if you consider adding height, as well as width. The glazing here is incredible!

9. Added to a traditional terrace house, this starkly modern dog-leg extension looks great and didn't require a huge garden sacrifice

10. Keeping the shape of the original house, this glass extension is so complementary and allows for a luxe master bedroom upstairs

11. Tradition and modernity can combine wonderfully, as this kitchen and dining room extension proves!

12. For an extension with a difference, you can't go wrong with nothing but glass and a thin metal structure

16. There's no such thing as a 'too awkward' plot. This unusual design makes great use of the original subterranean layout and draws in natural light

17. The agricultural styling of this clad extension looks perfect in a rural setting

18. Blended brickwork looks amazing and helps to disguise an extension. This side return addition is almost undetectable

19. If you have a growing family, think about a double height extension so you can get the benefit of extra bedrooms, as well as a bigger kitchen!

20. This neat, petite extension has emulated the original house's colour scheme perfectly and is millimetre perfect for the gap
