Activating Outdoor Rugs

To make your experience easier, some designs will be automatically enabled on your behalf. If you have rugs enabled, we’ve automatically applied those designs to outdoor rugs due to their similar aspect ratios and product details. Visit your Artist Studio to review or adjust design placements and to enable any additional artwork that you want to offer on this product.

Reminder: We launch new products to artists before making them available to customers in order to allow for merchandising and time for artists to update their shops. At first, outdoor rugs will not be included in the “Outdoor & Lifestyle” dropdown in the main navigation on our site. Once it launches to customers, you’ll be able to find it there.
