Whitespace isn’t decoration. It’s a cognitive tool. The gaps between elements signal hierarchy, group related content, and reduce the mental load of parsing a screen. When designers treat negative space as wasted real estate, they’re optimizing for density over comprehension.

The space between things

Some of the most emotionally powerful experiences in design emerge not from what is added, but from what is intentionally withheld.

@uxbrad @uxbrad I partly disagree. There‘s also an overuse of #whitespace in today‘s apps and websites. For #powerusers it‘s annoying if they have 37“ screens and look at … 50% white space instead of the important data and functions. There should always be a way to select a compact space or better … a more freely #customisable screen layout.

@uxtstr23 sure there are extremes on both sides but white space does help with cognition. #ItDepends
