UICollectionView spacing margins

You can use the collectionView:layout:insetForSectionAtIndex: method for your UICollectionView or set the sectionInset property of the UICollectionViewFlowLayout object attached to your UICollectionView:

- (UIEdgeInsets)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(UICollectionViewLayout*)collectionViewLayout insetForSectionAtIndex:(NSInteger)section{
    return UIEdgeInsetsMake(top, left, bottom, right);
}

or

UICollectionViewFlowLayout *aFlowLayout = [[UICollectionViewFlowLayout alloc] init];
[aFlowLayout setSectionInset:UIEdgeInsetsMake(top, left, bottom, right)];

Updated for Swift 5

func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, insetForSectionAt section: Int) -> UIEdgeInsets {
       return UIEdgeInsets(top: 25, left: 15, bottom: 0, right: 5)
    }
