The issue with houseware, if we're going by the wiki (
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dhouseware), is that it also
seems overly restrictive: "A shop that focuses on small items, like
cutlery, crockery, cookware and decorative items".

I'm actually leaning towards department store, but feel like OSM needs a
new tag to specify which departments a department store has so that we can
distinguish the huge ones from smaller ones like The Range or Laura Ashley
(another brand I've struggled with categorising).
