Adding space between columns in Bootstrap 4 [duplicate] - html

Add spacing between vertically stacked columns in Bootstrap 4
(6 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
How I want it to look like:
I'm trying to add horizontal and vertical space between the columns in BS4 but it keeps either messing breakpoints around (black or red) or the breakpoints of bootstrap. Is there any easy way to add space? I've tried the new margin settings of BS4, but it didn't really help (messed up the heading and background-color). Also, the 2 horizontal columns should have the same height.
btw. If you run the snippet, the columns don't display correctly because of the size of the snippet output. That's what it should look like on non-mobile: screenshot (or expand the snippet)

For spacing Bootstrap 4 has responsive spacing classes p-* (for padding) and m-* (for margins).
So, in your case, you could experiment by adding p-1 or maybe p-2 to all your columns to achieve the desired effect.
Note: The Bootstrap spacing classes are based on rem units, not on px because px is the old and outdated way of doing things when it comes to responsive design and accessibility.
Here's the reference link for you:
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/utilities/spacing/
The following code snippet produces the desired result by using nesting as well as the m-1 class to create margins around the columns:
