Hello and welcome.

Assuming a newer gtk3-based version of xfce4-terminal, have a read through this thread for info on adding padding to the vte element of the window.

Re: [Xfce4-terminal]Configuring gap between the border and output

I'm using xfce4-terminal 0.8.8 (Xfce 4.14), I created a file gtk.css in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/ and included 

 VteTerminal, vte-terminal {
        padding: 15px;
} 

but it doesn't seems to effect.

Make sure you kill all running instances of xfce4-terminal (pkill xfce4-terminal) or log out and back in again.
