When you enlist floral designer Jeff Leatham to design your Thanksgiving table, convention doesn't enter the equation. Just ask Khloe Kardashian, whose monochromatic table from 2014 remains one of the most unorthodox arrangements to date.

While almost every other Thanksgiving table decor idea centers around terracottas, reds, and browns, Khloe experimented with a black-and-white palette that, despite its un-festive connotations, still felt uniquely celebratory.

Monochromatic roses (much like this arrangement from Etsy) define the setting, but her cookware shouldn't go overlooked. Surprisingly, Amazon is one of the best places to buy beautiful tableware, especially when looking for pumpkin-shaped pieces like these Khloe-inspired bowls. They're perfect for Thanksgiving without being cliché.

'When you imagine a Thanksgiving table, you probably think of orange pumpkins, yellowish-brown leaves, and all those warm fall colors. But honestly, I love the idea of doing something different and keeping things simple with black and white,' comments Robert Aumann, a luxury real estate advisor and founding partner of La Jolla Life.

'I love how elegant black and white can look, and the best part is that you don’t have to spend a fortune to achieve it.' Alongside the flowers and pumpkin cookware, Robert recommends investing in a classic white tablecloth, matching napkins, and some of the best candles on the market. 'If you want to add a little more warmth to the table, add some greenery or gold accents,' he adds.

Plus, while Khloe's arrangement exhibits undeniable drama, Robert says you can still tap into the palette on a smaller scale. 'I’d make the table warm and welcoming because the holiday is all about getting together with friends and family, so I don’t want the decorations to look too fancy or too formal. Simple colors and some personal touches will do for sure.'

It's not too late to U-turn your classic Thanksgiving decor for an even chicer alternative. Your guests might be shocked – in the best way possible.
