Good answer ppollono  I was just playing around and I got a slightly better solution  The CSS would remain the same  i e     html  body   container       height  100      container       display  table      vertical-align  middle     vertical-center-row       display  table-cell      vertical-align  middle      But for HTML    lt div class  container  gt       lt div class  vertical-center-row  gt           lt div align  center  gt TEXT lt  div gt       lt  div gt   lt  div gt    This would be enough

Try this  For the example  I used a fixed height  I think it is doesn t affect the responsive scenario    x000D   x000D   lt html lang  en  gt  x000D   lt head gt  x000D       lt link rel  stylesheet  href  https   stackpath bootstrapcdn com bootstrap 4 3 1 css bootstrap min css  gt  x000D   lt  head gt  x000D   lt body gt  x000D       lt div class  d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center bg-secondary w-100  style  height  300px   gt  x000D           lt div class  bg-primary  style  width  200px  height  50px   gt  lt  div gt  x000D       lt  div gt  x000D   lt  body gt  x000D   lt  html gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

Not the best way  but will still work   lt div class  container-fluid h-100  gt   lt div class  row h-100  gt   lt div class  col-lg-12  gt  lt  div gt   lt div class  col-lg-12  gt   lt div class  row h-100  gt     lt div class  col-lg-4  gt  lt  div gt     lt div class  col-lg-4 border  gt      This div is in middle    lt  div gt     lt div class  col-lg-4  gt  lt  div gt   lt  div gt    lt  div gt   lt div class  col-lg-12  gt  lt  div gt   lt  div gt    lt  div gt

In bootstrap 4 to center the children horizontally  use bootstrap-4 class justify-content-center  to center the children vertically  use bootstrap-4 class  align-items-center  but remember don t forget to use d-flex class with these it s a bootstrap-4 utility class  like so  lt div class  quot d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center quot  style  quot height 100px  quot  gt       lt div class  quot bg-primary quot  gt MIDDLE lt  div gt       lt  div gt   Note  make sure to add bootstrap-4 utilities if this code does not work

In Bootstrap 4  use    lt div class  d-flex justify-content-center  gt     lt  div gt    You can also change the position depending on what you want    lt div class  d-flex justify-content-start  gt     lt  div gt   lt div class  d-flex justify-content-end  gt     lt  div gt   lt div class  d-flex justify-content-between  gt     lt  div gt   lt div class  d-flex justify-content-around  gt     lt  div gt    Reference here

without display table and without bootstrap   i would rather do that   lt div class  container container-table  gt       lt div class  row vertical-center-row  gt           lt div class  text-center col-md-4 col-md-offset-4  style  background red  gt TEXT lt  div gt       lt  div gt   lt  div gt     html  body   container-table       height  100      container-table       width 100vw    height 150px    border 1px solid black     vertical-center-row      margin auto    width 30     padding 63px    text-align center       http   codepen io matoeil pen PbbWgQ

You don t need to change anything in CSS you can directly write this in class and you will get the result    lt div class  col-lg-4 col-md-4 col-sm-4 container justify-content-center  gt     lt div class  col  style  background red  gt      TEXT    lt  div gt   lt  div gt

I think the simplest way to accomplish the layout with bootstrap is like this    lt section gt   lt div class  container  gt       lt div class  row  gt           lt div align  center  gt               lt div style  max-width  200px  background-color  blueviolet   gt                   lt div gt                       lt h1 style  color  white   gt Content goes here lt  h1 gt                   lt  div gt               lt  div gt           lt  div gt       lt  div gt   lt  div gt      all I did was to add layers of divs that allowed me to center the div  but since I am not using percentages  you need to specify the max-width of the div to be center   You can use this same method to center more than one column  you just need to add more div layers    lt div class  container  gt       lt div class  row  gt           lt div align  center  gt               lt div style  max-width  400px  background-color  blueviolet   gt                   lt div class  col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12  style  background-color  blueviolet   gt                       lt div class  col-md-8 col-sm-8 col-xs-12  style  background-color  darkcyan   gt                           lt h1 style  color  white   gt Some content lt  h1 gt                       lt  div gt                       lt div class  col-md-4 col-sm-4 col-xs-12  style  background-color  blue   gt                           lt p style  color  white   gt More content lt  p gt                       lt  div gt                   lt  div gt               lt  div gt           lt  div gt       lt  div gt   lt  div gt    Note  that I added a div with column 12 for md  sm and xs  if you don t do this the first div with background color  in this case  blueviolet   will collapse  you will be able to see the child divs  but not the background color
