I'd say the white space should be kept blank and especially for bootstrap usability, there is no native way to fill the white space. You'll also notice the side margins shrink and respond to the viewport to conform to the "readability requirements" so it's not consistently available space. | |

Layouts can use fluid containers but can contain fixed containers to support paragraph readability. Also fixed containers are helpful to support the invisible "guidelines" of the layout when using jumbotrons, h1's, large ad placements, etc. | |
