Padding
The space inside an element, between its content and border. Padding improves readability and visual balance by creating internal breathing room. Consistent padding values help maintain a coherent design system.
Container
Layout
A parent element that holds and organizes child elements, defining boundaries for layout and positioning. Containers with maximum widths prevent content from becoming too wide on large screens while allowing full-width backgrounds. Framer's containers support auto layout, padding, and responsive size controls for flexible layouts.
Negative Space
Design
The empty area around and between design elements that gives content room to breathe and creates visual clarity. Negative space, or white space, is an active design element that improves focus and comprehension. Resist filling every available space—negative space makes designs feel premium.
