Hi, Kaiyu Zheng provides a good disucssion on this topic in his guide "ROS Navigation Tuning Guide". Check out pages 11 & 12. Download the PDF of this guide HERE.

In short, increase your inflation_radius and decrease your cost_scaling_factor parameters in your local_costmap_params.yaml. I am using inflation_radius = 1.0 and cost_scaling_factor = 2.5. This way, the planner will prefers paths as far away from both walls as possible as this will be minimise the cost.
