Breathing Space:

• Whitespace is an important element in design for good reason. If we used correctly it will provide many advantages to our design.
• Whitespace is simply unmarked space in the design. It is space between the layouts, lines of paragraphs, between paragraphs and between different UI elements.
• A website template using whitespace that page appears effectively, clean and uncluttered.
• While designing using whitespace between text and paragraphs creating contrast, highlighting and guiding reader's eyes from one topic to another.                                
• This increases the scope of scanning, readability also improves the readability and usability of website design.

The Advantages of Using Whitespace

Increased Content Legibility: Users should be able to see where are they going and be given a reason to keep reading.

More Interaction: Visitors are always in a hurry when browsing through sites and having a good amount of white space will increase interaction by preventing distractions.

Ability to Highlight call to Actions: Most obvious way to make something stand out is make things bigger. However, surrounding the item with whitespace can be just as effective.

Creating Balance: Too little whitespaces leads confusion, disorganization and unreliability. Too much whitespace could highlight a lack of content and lack of user guidance so maintain a balance by giving whitespace it improved user accessibility and user experience.
