For theatre, types of scenery could include anything from flats (theatre style, or TV style), platforms, stairs, ramps (or rakes), curtains (or a cyclorama, or a scrim), automation, scenic painting, back drops, furniture, doors, windows, and the flies. Depending on who you talk to, joinery and hardware might be included.

For film or television, it could include all of the above, a box set (flats connected and painted to look like a room) or a location, large stationary props, or anything that could contribute to the illusion of reality.

Be careful, though. There is a thin line between props and set. Anything that the actors will pick up and/or handle would be a prop, not a scenic element.

Eg:

Scene: a family eating at a dinner table.

Set: the room, rugs, furniture, door/arch way

Prop: plates, silverware, food, lamps/candles, coat tree, table cloth
