Please define a "regular" sized lanai? regular to you may be different to others. The biggest concern in how a lanai is used even in good circumstances is the width. Even if you have a 30 foot long lanai, if its only 8 or 10 foot wide it will require different furniture and have a different use than a 12 (or more) ft wide lanai. 12 foot of width ( or more) is ideal.
How do you plan on using it? How does the lanai face west, east Major difference. Are you a snow bird going to use the lanai only in the winter months or a full time resident..Major differnce. Is back privacy an issue?
Depending on how you respond to some of these questions will not necessarily get you answers to your original question. Alot of people when they first purchase have BIG intentions of using the lanai area. I have seen some beautiful decorated lanais but everything was just right in terms of size and location and direction. However after living here a while alot of people see the lanai as always being dirty, suject to rain and wind, and a literal hot box in the summer ....that is why they enclose it or make it into an all season FLorida room.
My advice is dont rush into decorating the lanai until you really know how you will use it yourself....not just how you intend to use it!
