8 CSS Snippets for Creating Bento Grid Layouts

8 CSS Snippets for Creating Bento Grid Layouts

Another day, another design trend! Bento grid layouts are the subject this time around. They’re bold and beautiful. Plus, they satisfy those with a need for symmetry.

So, what exactly is a Bento layout? Think of it as a puzzle. Different-sized containers fit together to create a seamless look. Inspired by Japanese culture, it’s popping up all over the web.

There’s good reason for Bento’s growing popularity. You can use these layouts in a multitude of ways. Everything from listing blog posts to product features is possible. They’re also perfect for dashboard screens.

We should also mention the role that the evolution of CSS has played. Both CSS Grid and Flexbox make these layouts easier to build. No hacks or workarounds are necessary!

With that, here’s a look at 8 beautiful Bento grid layouts.

Complex Bento CSS Grid Layout

CSS Grid packs a lot of power into a tiny bit of code. For example, this complex grid layout requires only 43 lines of CSS. The layout is both efficient and naturally responsive. Therefore, you won’t have to play around with media queries.

Bento-Style Responsive Dashboard

Here’s a gorgeous dashboard layout that benefits from Bento. The layout offers a great way to display relevant content. Everything is neatly organized and easy to follow. The use of photography and color makes this example stand out.

Bento Design Concept Layout

This page layout is a different take on the Bento aesthetic. There’s a sidebar featuring in-page navigation. Clicking a button expands it. Meanwhile, the content container maintains a consistent height.

Bento-Box-V1.0.1

Bento layouts also benefit from minimalism. This layout features fewer bells and whistles. Notice the use of white space and legible typography. The animated charts catch your eye without being overwhelming.

Sticky Bento on Scroll

This “sticky” presentation adds special effects to the mix. Watch how certain elements stick as you scroll. The idea is that you can go beyond static grids. Bento can be fun, too!

Bento Grid Using CSS Flexbox

Let’s check out another fun example using Flexbox. This grid has a neon look and includes cool hover effects. Bonus points here for maintaining legibility and responsiveness.

Card-Based Layout with Gradient Borders

Here’s an example for those wanting to stand out from the crowd. This card-based layout features animated borders, “wipe” effects, and beautiful hover styling. The layout remains clean – even with all those goodies.

CSS Grid & :has() Grid Layouts

We can achieve a lot with the CSS :has() pseudo-class. This example uses it to adjust the layout as boxes are added and subtracted. Watch as the layout maintains perfect symmetry throughout.

Use Bento Grids to Keep Your Layout Nice and Tidy

The idea of using Bento aesthetics in web design isn’t new. However, older CSS layout techniques made them difficult to build. That’s no longer the case.

Perhaps the best part is that modern CSS does all the dirty work. We don’t need to compute complex calculations. CSS Grid and Flexbox can do this for us.

That leaves us free to experiment. The examples above demonstrate what is possible. And you can get as creative as you like.

CSS Positioning...

Today is the day I try my absolute best to focus on CSS flexbox.

Positioning in CSS is a complete guessing game to me currently, so today I'm going to specifically take the time to deep delve and try to fully understand what does what.

If you have any handy tips, I'd be grateful to hear them! Otherwise, I'll end up trying to make something that will hopefully make it easier to others too.

Wish me luck!

Curious about when to use display: flex or display: inline-flex?

display: flex turns your element into a block-level flex container, giving you full control over its child elements' alignment and spacing. Perfect for structuring complex layouts! 🏗️

On the other hand, display: inline-flex gives you the same flex properties but maintains the container as an inline element. Ideal for inline-level layouts where you need the magic of flex without breaking the flow! 💫

flex-direction: row; & flex-direction: column;

Flexbox has a property called flex-direction and this determines the direction that the flex items are displayed.

flex-direction: row; - this is the default and aligns the items across the page, making the main axis, left to right and the cross axis, top to bottom.

When this property is applied with this value, and if you use the flex-basis property on the flex items within this container, it would affect the width of the items:

if we apply a flex-basis of 500px to the first child div, it would change the width of the div.

flex-direction: column; - this aligns the items down the page, making the main axis from top to bottom and the cross axis from left to right.

When this property is applied with this value, and if you use the flex-basis property on the flex items within this container, it would affect the height of the items:

if we apply a flex-basis of 300px to the first child div, it would change the height of the div.

The flex-basis property interacts with the main axis, and depending on the direction of the main axis, determines whether the flex-basis will change the items' width or height.
