Grid
The grid aims for visual consistency between layouts and to provide flexibility across a wide variety of designs.

The grid system is implemented with the Grid component. It uses CSS's Flexible Box module for high flexibility.
Item widths are set in percentages, so they're always fluid and sized relative to their parent element.
Items have padding to create the spacing between individual items.
There are 6 grid breakpoints: xxs, xs, sm, md, lg, xl.
Integer values can be given to each breakpoint, indicating how many of the 12 available columns are occupied by the component when the viewport width satisfies the breakpoint constraints.

...
To control space between children, use the spacing prop. The spacing value can be any positive number, including decimals and any string. The prop is converted into a CSS property using the theme.spacing() helper.
