Morphology
The meaning 'the art or practice of planning and decorating inside spaces' is directly derivable from combining 'interior' (inner space) with 'design' (planning/creation) in a standard modifier–head noun compound. This compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common (e.g., Spanish 'diseño de interiores'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Interior design comes from the simple idea of planning the inside of a building: interior means 'inside' and design means 'a plan'. Imagine someone drawing a room with furniture, colours and light to make it useful and beautiful, and that's why interior design today means planning and decorating the inside of homes or offices.
