White space or Negative space (the space between elements in a composition) is seen as empty space and, therefore, a waste of screen real estate but the truth is that white space is one of the most valuable parts of your design.

White space in web design allows textual content to breathe and feel comfortable on the page.

By the way just because we call it white space doesn’t mean it has to literally be white! The blank space may be of any color, texture, or even an image.
