Morphology
The phrase is compositionally built: 'dining room' identifies the location/use and 'suite' denotes a coordinated set of furniture, so the overall meaning ('a matching set of furniture for the dining room') follows directly from the constituents. This regular noun–noun composition is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the component words will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Dining room suite uses suite in an old sense that means a matching 'set' of things. The image is a table and chairs that all 'go together', so the phrase means a matched group of furniture for the dining room.
