Bootstrap 3: Missing gutters
Bootstrap 3 switched to using padding
for the gutters rather than margin
s. So, the content is parted, but the boxes aren't. And a background-color
will fill the padding
as well.
Though, you should be able to get the desired effect by setting the background on inner boxes:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4">
<div class="box1">
<h1>Test</h1>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-8">
<div class="box2">
<h1>Test2</h1>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Though, the goal is just to apply the background
to a single, wrapping child. So, if the headers definitely won't have any siblings, then you can possibly forgo the additional <div>
s:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4">
<h1 class="box1">Test</h1>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-8">
<h1 class="box2">Test2</h1>
</div>
</div>
