There are two approaches to what you're looking for and different designers have their reasons for preferring one over the other.

One option is to choose a minimum resolution to design for (usually 800x600) and accept the fact that people with greater resolution will see a lot of empty space. Most sites like this will be centered within the page and many will use a background color behind everything.

The other option is to create a fluid design wich can be a little more difficult to acheive. There's more to it, but the basic idea is to use percentages for widths instead of specifiying absolute pixels.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages.
