Morphology
The meaning 'the way a person lives and experiences things in their home environment' is directly compositional from 'home' (residence) + 'life' (way of living). This is a common noun–noun/modifier pattern found across languages (e.g. 'vida en casa'/'vie familiale'), so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the phrase.
Etymology
Home life links home (the house, family and daily routines) and life (how someone lives and feels). So, the phrase paints the little, 'private' everyday picture of a person — the things they do and feel 'at home'.
