I tried looking for this but I honestly could not find anything for my particular issue.

I am designing a poster in LaTeX and I sometimes use custom list items. The thing is, as these get wider, they take up space to the left instead of the right as I would like them to.

Minimal working example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\begin{document}

\begin{enumerate}
    \item This is a normal item
    \item[Blablablabla]{This is a large item} 
\end{enumerate} 
\end{document}

you should not be using [...] arguments to \item when using enumerate, consider using description instead. Also see the enumitem package for full control over lists. – daleif May 10 '16 at 11:19

Are you after something like this? Description-like environment with fixed labels width – Torbjørn T. May 10 '16 at 11:36
@TorbjørnT. This is perfect. How can I accept your answer? Mind flagging the question as duplicate of the one in your link? – lennyklb May 10 '16 at 11:48
Good to hear. I voted to close, so when four others cast their vote, it will be closed. – Torbjørn T. May 10 '16 at 11:49
