title: Grid Areas

<p>A <strong>grid area</strong> is one or more {{glossary("grid cell", "grid cells")}} that make up a rectangular area on the grid. Grid areas are created when you place an item using <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Grid_Layout/Line-based_Placement_with_CSS_Grid">line-based placement</a> or when defining areas using <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Grid_Layout/Grid_Template_Areas">named grid areas</a>.</p>

<p><img alt="Image showing a highlighted grid area" src="https://mdn.mozillademos.org/files/14771/1_Grid_Area.png" style="height: 253px; width: 380px;"></p>

<p>Grid areas <em>must</em> be rectangular in nature; it is not possible to create, for example, a T- or L-shaped grid area.</p>

<p>In the example below I have a grid container with two grid items. I have named these with the {{cssxref("grid-area")}} property and then laid them out on the grid using {{cssxref("grid-template-areas")}}. This creates two grid areas, one covering four grid cells, the other two.</p>

<div id="example_1">
<div class="hidden">
<pre class="brush: css notranslate">* {box-sizing: border-box;}

.wrapper {
    border: 2px solid #f76707;
    border-radius: 5px;
    background-color: #fff4e6;
}

.wrapper &gt; div {
    border: 2px solid #ffa94d;
    border-radius: 5px;
    background-color: #ffd8a8;
    padding: 1em;
    color: #d9480f;
}
</pre>
</div>

<pre class="brush: css notranslate">.wrapper {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(3,1fr);
  grid-template-rows: 100px 100px;
  grid-template-areas:
    "a a b"
    "a a b";
}
.item1 {
  grid-area: a;
}
.item2 {
  grid-area: b;
}
</pre>

<pre class="brush: html notranslate">&lt;div class="wrapper"&gt;
   &lt;div class="item1"&gt;Item&lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div class="item2"&gt;Item&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
</pre>

</div>
