We have an open lanai and a pindo palm centered against the wall, jasmine climbing the wall, bottlebrush and crepe myrtle. In between are other smaller plantings the whole length of the wall. Anything will look lovely and breaks it up. We have river rock on the floor of the lanai. It never changes color when wet and drains the rain well. I even have curtains in the corners. My furniture is cast aluminum and outdoor rattan with cushions Only problem is moving the rattan close to our slider every rain so the cushions don't get wet. That"s about every day! Yes, I have a fountain running 24/7. I dearly love the openess.
