Morphology
living-room + suite
The phrase combines 'living-room' (a room for living) with 'suite' (a coordinated set of furniture), so the overall meaning — a matching set of furniture for the living room — is directly compositional. This follows common noun+noun compound patterns and mirrors analogous expressions in other languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Living-room suite comes from the idea of a suite as a group of pieces that go together for the living room. So, it means 'a set of matching furniture' made to be used together in that room.
