You can customize your Bootstrap Grid system and define your custom responsive grid.

change your default values for the following gutter width from @grid-gutter-width = 30px to @grid-gutter-width = 0px

(Gutter width is padding between columns. It gets divided in half for the left and right.)

I guess it s easier to just use   margin -30px    to override the original value set by bootstrap   I ve tried   margin  0px -30px 0px -30px    and it worked for me

If you download bootstrap with the SASS files you will be able to edit the config file where there are a setting for the margin of the columns and then save it  in that way the SASS calculates the new width of the columns

You d normally use  row to wrap two columns  not  col-md-12 - that s a column encasing another column  Afterall   row doesn t have the extra margins and padding that a col-md-12 would bring and also discounts the space that a column would introduce with negative left  amp  right margins     lt div class  container  gt       lt div class  row  gt           lt h2 gt OntoExplorer lt span style  color  b92429  gt   lt  span gt  lt  h2 gt            lt div class  col-md-4 nopadding  gt               lt div class  widget  gt                   lt div class  widget-header  gt                       lt h3 gt Dimensions lt  h3 gt                   lt  div gt                   lt div class  widget-content  gt                   lt  div gt               lt  div gt           lt  div gt            lt div class  col-md-8 nopadding  gt               lt div class  widget  gt                   lt div class  widget-header  gt                       lt h3 gt Results lt  h3 gt                   lt  div gt                   lt div class  widget-content  gt                   lt  div gt               lt  div gt           lt  div gt       lt  div gt   lt  div gt    if you really wanted to remove the padding margins  add a class to filter out the margins paddings for each child column     nopadding      padding  0  important     margin  0  important

You can create Less Mixins using bootstrap for manage margins and paddings of your columns like   http   mohandere work less-mixins-for-margin-and-padding-with-bootstrap-3   Usage    xs-padding-lr-15px  left right both xs-padding-l-15px  xs-padding-r-15px   Similarly for setting margin padding  zero you can use   xs-padding-lr-0px xs-padding-l-0px xs-padding-r-0px

Reducing just the padding on the columns won t make the trick  as you will extend the width of the page  making it uneven with the rest of your page  say navbar  You need to equally reduce the negative margin on the row  Taking  martinedwards  LESS example    row-no-padding     margin-left  0    margin-right  0     class   col-         padding-left  0  important      padding-right  0  important

Another solution  feasible only if you compile bootstrap from its LESS sources  is to redefine the variable which sets the padding for the columns   You will find the variable in the variables less file  it s called  grid-gutter-width   It s described like this in the sources        Padding between columns  Gets divided in half for the left and right   grid-gutter-width          30px    Set this to 0  compile bootstrap less  and include the resulting bootstrap css  You are done  It can be an alternative to defining an additional rule  if you are already using bootstrap sources like I am

Sometimes you might lose the padding that you want for the columns  They end up sticking to each other  To prevent that  you could update the class as follows    lt div class  col-md-3 NoPaddingForChildren  gt           lt div class  col-md-6  gt                       lt label gt Id lt  label gt                       lt input ng-model  ID  class  form-control  gt           lt  div gt           lt div class  col-md-6  gt                       lt label gt Value lt  label gt                       lt input ng-model  Val  class  form-control  gt           lt  div gt   lt  div gt    and corresponding class    NoPaddingForChildren  gt  div not  first-child  not  last-child        padding-left  0      padding-right  0      NoPaddingForChildren  gt  div first-child       padding-left  0      NoPaddingForChildren  gt  div last-child           padding-right  0
