Morphology
The meaning 'a matching group of furniture for a living room' is directly derivable from combining 'living room' (a room for living/receiving guests) with 'set' (a group of related items). This follows a common compositional pattern (noun + set) found in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Living room set comes from furniture shops that put matching pieces like a sofa, chairs and a table together to show how they would look in a living room. The word set means a group sold to go together, so the phrase now means 'a matching group of living room furniture'.
