Using Padding and Margin

Margin and Padding Designs with Elementor are used in creating gaps around an element and its immediate surrounding with other elements, though they differ in usage. Margin permits the gap by pushing adjacent elements away from it, while Padding permits gap either by growing in its own size or by shrinking the content inside it.

 

Margin

It is an element’s personal space- how much distance the element keeps with other elements around it.

 

Padding

It is the distance an element wants to keep with other elements inside it- how much an element is away from itself.

 

When to use Margin:

You don’t want an element to touch other elements around it or space around an element.

When To Use Margin

Placing an element at the center of its immediate container

Margin: Placement at center

When to use Padding:

  • You don’t want content to touch the edges of its container.

Padding: Contents not touching each other

The background colour is to be displayed in the desired gap or space but the content are far apart.
