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 outlet shop in Godstone. Great stock. Noleen and her staff are so incredibly helpful.
Tony and Adam found our house without any fuss - NOT a given since our postcode is not where our house is! - unwrapped the furniture and put it in place without even being asked. Thank you guys!
After a bit of initial confusion with the ordering in Guildford all is well. Items arrived Tony and Adam we the best delivery team, took away all the packaging placed my items exactly where I wanted them and expertly installed some tassels.
OKA delivery team are 1st class, they go out of their way too deliver goods and unpack, checking the goods and taking away the rubbish. Well Done Oka....special praise to Tony Adam
So many beautiful Oka goodies at Godstone and Nadia also searches out especially for me something special, she always remembers the type of items I like and highlights them which is an enormous help Thank you Nadia
Lee arrived on time and was extremely kind and efficient: he quickly assembled the elegant garden bench in our patio and left with a smile to his next delivery. Excellent products and excellent Team. Thanks!
Our dining chairs arrived today. The delivery service was fantastic, the 2 delivery guys, Scan & Sean were pleasant and particularly helpful. They unpacked, put the chairs in situ & took away all the packaging. They look fab!!
Excellent service, delivery men were super helpful and friendly.
A big thank you to Alex at Oka Bath for his exceptional service and help regarding cushions I had purchased. They required an exchange due to being two slightly different batch shades. It was handled extremely efficiently and professionally. So thank you Alex…you are a credit to Oka customer service.
We were in the Harrogate branch on Friday & I would just like to say how extremely helpful Oliver was & also the young lady who i’m sorry I didn’t get her name. Both members of staff were a credit to the store. Thanks again!
Very happy with our garden furniture. The delivery men, Tony and Adam, were very friendly. They unpacked the furniture and carried it through to the garden for us.
Mark and Sean were great very professional and extremely helpful highly recommend the company
Another wonderful experience in Oka's Bath store who've been amazing when it's come to furnishing my new property. Natasha and team are always very helpful and go the extra mile to ensure you have the best experience. Looking forward to visiting again soon!
Another interesting and fruitful visit to Oka in South Godstone. One of my favourite shops, and Nadia was very helpful as always.
Tony & Adam were helpful moving existing furniture to different locations and assembling the new furniture and putting it in place. They were pleasant nothing was too much trouble. OKA could improve the notification of time slots, especially if it’s the first delivery by either a phone call or email the previous day advising the time slot would be early. As the email came through at 05:30 I was surprised for it to arrive at 07:30. Fortunately, I was dressed! 🤣
Had our garden furniture delivered this morning. We’re called by Tony and Adam with an arrival time which was spot on. Really friendly and courteous. Top notch team - thank you very much.
Gina in your Guildford branch was totally amazing … she really helped me choose a huge pile of cushions for my home … and I loved them all. She was great at picking out tones, patterns and colours which really complimented their surroundings. I was back in OKA and found her again to help me with further purchases… good to know she is there for advice !
Refund required please. No record or email re collection of returned goods. ( I have photographed correspondence and pick up/delivery! note.) and 2 packages both goods and boxes. Love your products but the first time returning items and it has not been easy. No response any other way but to write on here. I would be grateful if this is sorted please.
The delivery was great - Tony and Elliot were very helpful, careful, thoughtful around the house and efficient.
