Items without anchors
When lists don’t have an anchoring element such as an avatar or icon, spacing alone isn’t always enough to separate tiles. In this case, full-bleed dividers can help create rhythm and separate individual tiles.

Image-based content
Because the grid itself creates visual distinction, grid lists do not need dividers to separate subheaders from content. In this case, the white space and the subheaders separate the sections of content adequately.
