For sisters, Barbara Elliott and Jennifer Ward-Woods, The Sisters and Company is a boutique interior design firm servicing the city of Atlanta and its surrounding areas.
Barbara and Jennifer have been in the world of interior design for the past 27 years, beginning their journey separately as Jennifer was located in North Carolina and Barbara already in Atlanta. Their shared passion for design eventually led them to the creation of their own business.
What started as a humble endeavor blossomed into a thriving enterprise fueled by their love for design and dedication to excellence…

Central to the sisters’ design philosophy is a commitment to catering to their clients with a personalized emphasis on individual needs and desires…
The Sisters and Company were recently featured in Modern Luxury Datebook with their underlying message that an interior design space should feel and look spectacular.
The office showcased in the magazine executes masculine smokey attributes with a sophisticated arrangement that doesn’t blur the lines on what looks good. The design is innovative. The play on colors coordinate with a monochromatic touch that connects warm and soft hues. It tailors a look for the modern career-driven man as it tailors a masculine aesthetic.

In their design business, Elliott and Ward-Woods aren’t afraid to take risks or take on the bigger projects either. Their design portfolio includes everything from room resets to full renovations. While renos weren’t as common in the beginning, requests grew for those jobs. “We do everything,” adds Ward-Woods. “You’re only limited by what your ability is.”
What gives Elliott and Ward-Woods the “extra” that many of their clients have been looking for? For Ward-Woods, it’s what potential clients see in their portfolio. “They may not know what they want, but they know it when they see it, and that helps us get a sense,” she continues, adding that potential clients are often drawn by their use of color. “We teach our clients that you don’t have to be afraid of color. There’s a way to use it.” Ward-Woods also credits her and her sister’s knack for making comfort a priority while designing their beautiful spaces.
