Morphology
baby's + room
The meaning 'a room furnished for a baby' is directly derivable from the constituents: 'baby's' (possessive of baby) + 'room' (indoor area). The possessive/compositional pattern indicating the room belonging to or intended for the baby is cross-linguistically common and thus immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows the component words.
Etymology
Baby's room is a simple, literal name: baby's shows who the space is for and room is the place. Imagine a small room with a crib, soft colors and toys, and you see why the phrase means 'a room specially furnished and decorated for a baby'.
