A seaside-inspired dining room doesn't have to be all anchors and sails to feel coastal or relaxed. Just look at Suburbia, a restaurant in Los Angeles set a few blocks from the beach. Founders Tin Vuong and Jed Sanford wanted to create an all-day eatery that reflected the community when they partnered with Bishop Pass on the design, so they stuck with a light and neutral color palette that would pair well with the fresh menu and area's sunshine. The result is an aesthetic that mixes modernist touches — like a copper chandelier and exposed beams — with casual cool finishes like painted black brick and a custom leather banquette. "I wanted to open a place close to our house where I could dine with my family on a regular basis," Sanford said. And with a place as laid-back and cozy as Suburbia, he won't be the only local making this a go-to spot.
