>From a UK perspective my feeling is that houseware and home are not synonyms - "home" suggests more furnishings, maybe lighting etc but not so much the utilitarian objects that might be better labelled as "houseware".
Kitchenware would be a category of houseware; other categories/subsets might include bathroom stuff (brushes, sponges, ...), garage stuff (cloths, sponges, ...), garden stuff (buckets, hoses, gloves, ...) etc. Lighting, furnishings etc would not be houseware but (I suggest) "furnishing" (distinct from "furniture" which suggests more the larger things like beds, cupboards, sofas etc).
