What is OKA all about? Simply put, it’s a love affair with living well. Since the very beginning, we’ve been on a mission to create things that make time spent with friends and family more memorable. We believe that’s the secret to living beautifully: enjoying it.
OKA started small, with three women bringing unique designs from the Far East to shoppers in the West. Lady Annabel Astor, a serial entrepreneur on a mission to find special items to decorate her holiday home with, invited two friends along: her sister-in-law Sue Jones, whose decorating pedigree included stints at Jasper Conran and Colefax and Fowler, and Lucinda Waterhouse, a skilled horticulturist whose company made exquisite faux flowers. Together they set out to create a catalogue of charming home upgrades.
From the start, the OKA team has called on talented artisans from all over the world to bring its ideas to life. Our furniture and homewares prioritise beauty, comfort and style, but we choose items for their integrity, not because they fit a prescribed look. The magic of OKA is the mix: hand-picked global treasures, rich textures and patterns, and timeless furniture profiles. It’s ever-changing but unwaveringly British; elegant and easy-going; sophisticated but never stiff.
And our name? OKA is a phonetic take on ochre, a colour that nods to the East, yet feels innately British. A blend of cultures and aesthetics working in perfect harmony, which is at the heart of everything we do.
Building on over two decades of collections, 13 experiential stores in the UK, a website, and an ideas-packed magazine, we’ve become a destination for lovers of home, season after season. And the more we continue to follow our passion for design, the more we inspire others to find theirs.
Excellent customer service . Eloise at Marlow was fantastic
Excellent service with really quick delivery. Chairs are perfect fit for our dining room.
I could walk around your shops all day . I have been a bit cheakey and follow some of your ideas for myself. Unfortunately most is unobtainable with my budget but I do have a rather good selection of your cushions which always make a statement.
Extremely helpful advice in both choosing products and availability/delivery
Delighted with my cushion covers
Fantastic service by all the staff in this store. Products high quality and great price in the Black Friday sale
This is a wonderful interiors shop full of beautiful home product in the heart of the Cotswolds Great staff and a wonderful shopping experience.
It satisfied my requirements.
I saw the Pentomino Display Cabinet few months ago and absolutely fell in love with it. It’s the first piece of new furniture I bought after my move few weeks ago. Mark and Darren delivered and installed it for me at exactly where I wanted it to be. They are helpful and professional. Extremely pleased with the purchase and the overall experience. Thank you!
Amazing store and amazing staff. Zoe at Harrogate store is so friendly and helpful. Its a pleasure to buy from Oka.
The lady in the Harrogate shop was lovely and so helpful. Cheerful and kind.
Oka products are always fantastic and this time around simply amazing customer service from the Sunninghill store. Thank you so much, I am over the moon
The quality of information communicated by staff was excellent. The time spent ensuring the information was understood and accurate was well spent and as a result I was able to plan a purchase with confidence.
I would like to thank Diana in the Guildford store and Jane in the Sunninghill store (near Ascot) for providing outstanding customer service in both shops. They did everything they could to find me the perfect products for my sitting room. They did not rush me and gave me as much time as I needed. I did not feel under any pressure to buy and I was able to return a couple of items without any issue. Guildford is a very large store and is something of a showcase for OKA with several floors. Sunninghill is smaller, but has a cosy feel and is divided into smaller rooms, which helped me to visualise how things would look. Sunninghill also has the advantage of free parking immediately outside the shop. I have never bought from OKA before, but the Black Friday discount made the prices favourable and the products are top quality. I will definitely buy again from this company. It is rare to find customer service of this level. Thank you.
Beautiful product and great sevice.
