After completing his service, Maloof left the army in 1945 to return to Southern California. In 1946, Maloof became reacquainted with Millard Sheets while he was doing screen printing for Angelus-Pacific. Sheets invited Maloof to come to Claremont, California to work for him and become his studio assistant.

In 1947, while waiting for Millard Sheets at Scripps College, Maloof met Alfreda Ward. Alfreda was on leave from the her job at the Indian Service where she developed and administered arts and crafts programs. It was love at first sight.

Maloof married Alfreda Ward on June 27, 1948 and the couple moved into a house at 921 Plaza Serena, Ontario, California, where he set up a furniture workshop in the garage. Mostly from necessity, Maloof designed and built a suite of furniture for his home using salvaged materials.
