The Novogratz X Target Collection Proves Just How Livable Color Can Be

By Wendy Jacob On

Fans of Cortney and Robert Novogratz — the husband and wife design duo known as The Novogratz — will love their new collection of affordable finds at Target.

They’re not only known for their high-end residences and boutique hotels, but also for their busy life with seven kids (see their former L.A. home here). That may be what gives the couple such a practical lens when it comes to designing the Novogratz x Target collection, which is splashed with their trademark bold colors (great in kids’ rooms), convertible sofas that become futons and lots of textural velvet tempered for the grown-ups. Plus, slim, smart desks double as chic consoles for students who may be learning from home this fall. Scroll down to see the must-have items from the collection!

The Concord Computer Desk weighs only 42 pounds and has a drawer to tuck in supplies.

Who doesn’t love the look of cozy velvet on a bed (even though it does make it harder to leave)? The navy Taylor Velvet Upholstered Bed is topped with their Zoey Comforter Set in silky microfibre that’s reversible to a subtle pattern to mix things up.

Luxe quilting makes these Burma velvet chairs (sold in sets of two) even more chic: the flayed legs are inspired by traditional, mid-century modern-inspired, upholstered dining chairs. Use them for a pop of color around a dining table or break them up as accent chairs.
