Morphology
The meaning 'a person who decorates houses' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'house' (a building to live in) with 'decorator' (a professional who decorates interiors). This straightforward noun–noun compositional pattern is common across languages and follows normal English word-formation, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The compound noun house decorator comes from the simple picture of someone who 'decorates' a home. A house is the building and a decorator chooses colors, furniture and pictures to make rooms look nice, so the phrase means 'a person who plans and arranges the appearance and furnishings of houses'.
