You could generalise if the majority of stores fit the standard category, as individual shops can still be 'interior_decoration' if that is all that they do. A difficulty could be that editing apps suggest that it is 'incorrect' and needs updating. Some chains make it easier by having a sub-brand like "Laura Ashley Home", but clearly some do not.
