If you live in Malden, our closest showroom is in Saugus, at 1201 Broadway inside Square One Mall. It is one straight run up Route 99 from much of the city, and it is where Malden families come to try sofas, beds and dining sets before they buy. Sweet Home Furniture is a family business that has been selling furniture in Massachusetts since 1996.

How to get from Malden to our Saugus showroom

From Malden Center and the Maplewood side, the simplest route is Route 99 (Broadway) north into Saugus, where it meets Route 1. From there, Square One Mall is right on Route 1. From the Linden and Oak Grove side, some customers prefer Route 60 toward Route 1 and then head north. Either way, plan on about 15 to 25 minutes depending on traffic. If you take the Orange Line to Oak Grove, you will still want a car or a ride for the last stretch, especially if you plan to pick something up.

Shopping for a Malden apartment or two-family

Malden has a lot of renters, a lot of two-family homes, and a growing number of newer apartment buildings near Malden Center and Oak Grove. That mix shapes what sells well to Malden customers.

Newer apartment buildings near the Orange Line

Newer buildings usually have elevators, which helps, but the living rooms are often compact and open to the kitchen. A sofa around 72 to 84 inches long fits most of these rooms without blocking the path to the kitchen. If you want more seating, look at an apartment-size sectional or a sofa plus a swivel accent chair. Check the elevator door and the interior depth of the elevator car before delivery day.

Two-families and older Victorians (Edgeworth, Maplewood, Faulkner)

Many older Malden homes have rooms with radiators, bay windows and doors in odd places. Measure wall space between the radiator and the doorway, not the whole wall. For bedrooms, a queen bed is 60 inches wide and about 80 inches long, so a room with 10 feet of wall usually fits a queen plus two narrow nightstands. If the room is tighter, skip the second nightstand and use a taller dresser for storage.

Families sharing space

Shared bedrooms are common in Malden households. Our kids and teens collection is a good place to start for bunk beds and space-saving pieces. A sleeper sofa in the living room can cover visiting relatives without giving up a bedroom.
