Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'set' (stage/film scenery) combined with 'decoration' (an ornament or embellishment) yields 'decoration for the set.' A B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily derive this meaning, as the noun-noun relationship is transparent and cross-linguistically common.
Etymology
The noun set decoration comes from theatre and film. The word set means the stage or room for a scene and decoration means the furniture and small objects placed there, so the phrase refers to the items and arrangements used to make the scene look real.
