  Hi there, I see you are using Sela and have set the full-width page template on your main page, which removes the sidebar. Or, perhaps are you talking about the bottom widget area below the content?

  On the header length, are you talking about from side-to-side, or top to bottom. Top to bottom we can increase, but currently the header is the full width of the overall #page div, so the only way to increase the width of it would be to increase the overall width of the #page div (entire white area).

  Hi there, this would require custom CSS, and to be able to add custom CSS, you would need the WordPress.com Premium Plan upgrade, which includes Custom Design.

  You can try out and preview custom CSS before you buy as explained here. This would be the CSS to increase the minimum height of the header image area. Originally is 238px.

  .header-bg {
      min-height: 500px;
  }
