Morphology

bedroom + suite

The noun phrase 'bedroom suite' is directly compositional: a 'suite' (a coordinated set of furniture) specified for the 'bedroom' (the sleeping room), so the overall meaning is derivable from the constituents. Although 'suite' has other senses (e.g. hotel suite), the furniture sense combines transparently with 'bedroom' and similar constructions exist in other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.

Etymology

Bedroom suite comes from the idea of a matching set: bedroom and suite, where 'suite' means 'a set of things that go together'. Imagine a bed, a dresser and a nightstand all made in the same style; because they 'go together' as a set for the bedroom, we call them a bedroom suite.
