In regards to BS 3 if I wanted just a narrow column of content on the right I might use an offset class of 9 and a column of 3.

However, what if I wanted the reverse and on the left side? Is there a proper way to do this in BS or should I just use my own CSS methods? I was thinking of creating a column of 3 with my content and just an empty column of 9.

Bootstrap rows always contain their floats and create new lines. You don't need to worry about filling blank columns, just make sure they don't add up to more than 12.

 

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap.min.css">

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-xs-3 col-xs-offset-9">
      I'm a right column of 3
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-xs-3">
      I'm a left column of 3
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="panel panel-default">
    <div class="panel-body">
      And I'm some content below both columns
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

just wondering how you get these code "run code snippet" button on stackoverflow – pahan Nov 12 '14 at 13:06

Runnable code snippets were introduced last month. Stack Overflow's blog post explains how to use them: blog.stackoverflow.com/2014/09/… – Ross Allen Nov 12 '14 at 14:56
   
For a blank column, use Bootstrap's col-X-pull-Y classes. For example, to push something of 50% size to the right but leave one column of space to the right (in a 12-column grid as an example): col-xs-6 pull-right col-xs-pull-1 – James Cushing Nov 1 '16 at 13:04

Hardcoding the percentages is very non-ideal. Additionally, it's possible to change how Bootstrap's grid system works, so you are not guaranteed to have 12 columns. In that instance, this answer fails. You are better off calculating the percentage relative to the number of grid columns. – Mari M Jan 11 '16 at 16:45
   
bootstrap does the same thing only from the left – Scott Jul 14 at 16:14

I modified Bootstrap SASS (v3.3.5) based on Rukshan's answer

Add this in the end of the calc-grid-column mixin in mixins/_grid-framework.scss, right below the $type == offset if condition.

@if ($type == offset-right) {
      .col-#{$class}-offset-right-#{$index} {
          margin-right: percentage(($index / $grid-columns));
      }
  }

Modify the make-grid mixin in mixins/_grid-framework.scss to generate the offset-rightclasses.

// Create grid for specific class
@mixin make-grid($class) {
  @include float-grid-columns($class);
  @include loop-grid-columns($grid-columns, $class, width);
  @include loop-grid-columns($grid-columns, $class, pull);
  @include loop-grid-columns($grid-columns, $class, push);
  @include loop-grid-columns($grid-columns, $class, offset);
  @include loop-grid-columns($grid-columns, $class, offset-right);
}

You can then use the classes like col-sm-offset-right-2 and col-md-offset-right-1

+1 for using percentage instead of hardcoding the values; this is closer to how Bootstrap internally handles the grid system, plus it allows a variable grid column if the default 12 is undesired. – Mari M Jan 11 '16 at 16:43
   
please update filename mixins/_grid_framework.scss to mixins/_grid-framework.scss in your second paragraph too – Zanshin13 Sep 8 '16 at 16:24

Based on WeNeigh's answer! here is a LESS example

.col-offset-right(@i, @type) when (@i >= 0) {
    .col-@{type}-offset-right-@{i} {
        margin-right: percentage((@i / @grid-columns));
    }
    .col-offset-right(@i - 1, @type);
};
.col-offset-right(@grid-columns, xs);
.col-offset-right(@grid-columns, sm);
.col-offset-right(@grid-columns, md);
.col-offset-right(@grid-columns, lg);

Here is the same solution than Rukshan but in sass (in order to keep your grid configuration) for special case that don't work with Ross Allen solution (when you can't have a parent div.row)

@mixin make-grid-offset-right($class) {
    @for $index from 0 through $grid-columns {
        .col-#{$class}-offset-right-#{$index} {
            margin-right: percentage(($index / $grid-columns));
        }
    }
}

@include make-grid-offset-right(xs);

@media (min-width: $screen-sm-min) {
  @include make-grid-offset-right(sm);
}

@media (min-width: $screen-md-min) {
  @include make-grid-offset-right(md);
}

@media (min-width: $screen-lg-min) {
  @include make-grid-offset-right(lg);
}
