Please consider coding the design interface and tools area to allow for customizing a design for an individual size variation. Other white label and retail POD sites have this feature.
An example would be, for the window curtains, the smallest size and the longest size, we need to make the design fit both sizes, when we should be able to customize the placement for each size in the designer workspace.

Just saw this in the Help center article re color grouping

NOTE: Although we typically encourage Creators to NOT repeat the same title & tags between their products, when grouping products for Design Themes, we recommend keeping your title, description and tags very similar and only change or add keywords that reflect the colorway variations between designs. 

I know we're talking about size/style variations here and not colorways but the principle should be the same I think. If it's the same product and same design just different colors and/or tweaked to fit a different size option, then why confuse shoppers with purposefully different text about it? I do as Jaden mentioned and just add the size/color to the title and change that specific in the description & tags. Maybe they state this about colorways as same title/tags/description might help the algorithm make matches, but it seems a perfectly sensible approach for other same-but-different product groupings.

@ColsCreations Hmmm... now I have always assumed that for the colorways stuff keeping the titles, tags, etc. largely the same was for the sake of helping the algorithm to identify them automatically.

Anyhow, when I do different designs for different sizes/aspect ratios, I keep the titles, tags, and descriptions largely the same from a human's perspective, but I try to alter them from the computer's perspective. I'm not sure that makes sense or not, but I'll do things like use a lot of the same words/sentences, only I'll put them in a different order, or I'll describe the same elements using different words that have basically the same meaning. Or I'll add a sentence to the description with information about the size. One of my tricks for the description is to ask AI to re-write it for me.

I think that at least part of point of varying the metadata is for the sake of SEO optimization - and I'm pretty sure that search engines will rank a page more highly if its content is more unique. I'm not sure if that's changed or not with the advent of AI in search algorithms, but that's my approach!

The area rugs, indoor and outdoor, also an issue. Round and runner sizes are options and the design cannot be customized to all those different aspect ratios so multiple listings have to be created.
Zazzle, code the design interface to allow for a designer to Customize for a Specific Size. This way, the variations can be left in one listing. Listing runners and round rugs separately is one thing but all the rectangle aspect ratio rugs should really be able to be variations in one listing.
