Morphology
The meaning is directly built from 'bathroom' (a room for personal hygiene) + 'fixture' (an item permanently fixed to a building), so the compound denotes items fixed in a bathroom such as sinks or toilets. This noun‑noun composition is compositional and common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Bathroom fixture comes from the word fixture, which means something fixed or attached in one place. Imagine a sink or toilet fixed to the floor or wall; because these items stay in place and are 'permanently installed', they are called bathroom fixtures.
