What are gutters in grid design?

Gutters are the spaces between columns or rows in a grid layout. They:

  • Separate content to prevent visual clutter.

  • Enhance readability by providing breathing room between elements.

  • Maintain alignment and consistency across the design.

Proper gutter sizing contributes to a balanced and user-friendly interface. Learn more about grid components in our article on Grids and Layouts in UI Design.
