homeMADE is an Australian reality television series that aired on the Nine Network. It premiered on 10 May 2009,[1] and episodes aired twice weekly on Tuesdays at 7:30 pm and again at 9:30 pm.[1] The series was presented by David Heimann,[2] who also acted as a mentor to the contestants.

The concept of homeMADE was that two teams of emerging designers renovated two houses in five days, with one eventual winner receiving a prize of $100,000. The winner was announced on 7 July, as Jason from NSW. The designers were judged by Neale Whitaker, Editor-in-Chief of Belle, and interior stylist Sibella Court.[2] Whitaker and Court are joined by guest judges, including Deborah Bibby, Paul Hecker, David Hicks and Greg Natale.[2]
