After the interest generated from 9 By Design, The Novogratz returned to television with a new show on HGTV, which showcased their celebrated unique design aesthetic. Season 1 of Home by Novogratz premiered on July 16, 2011. HGTV accurately describes the show's premise, “In each episode, Robert and Cortney take on a new design project and create totally unique, wildly original spaces that showcase their funky, downtown-chic aesthetic, their unpretentious design sensibility, and their self-taught, drop-dead gorgeous style. They'll learn on the job, pull together an eclectic mix of shopping finds and, in the end, present their client with a spectacular and totally customized room that surpasses every expectation”. The second season of Home by Novogratz premiered in 2012 and included renovations of spaces owned by Wendy Williams, Pioneer Woman, and Tony Hawk.

Transforming a ramshackle house into a sanctuary for family and friends, the reader sees the Novogratzes' relaxed and family-focused style in its purest and most laid back form. Brimming with great decorating and entertaining ideas that easily translate from vacation vibe to "real life" back at home, the gracious couple excel at living well, in sandals and bare feet, and never sweating the small stuff. In addition to offering up terrific decoration suggestions for every room in the house and the outdoors (including a treehouse) they have advice on how to make a vacation home pay for itself - advising that small touches add up in big ways when creating the most enjoyable experience for guests and renters.
