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.
The Bath store staff are simply fabulous!!! We love how they allow dogs into store and make a massive fuss out of them. Linda always looks after us and sorts.This is why we bought a sofa from Oka. The quality was fantastic. I have my eye on some cushions and light shade next. I will be back very soon ❤️🐾
Thank you Tony and Neil for your great delivery service. Care and communication excellent
OKA’s Darian and Terry kept up us informed as to when the delivery would be made and arrived on time. Both gentlemen took the carpet up to our dining room and laid it out before us. What a great service . Thank you.
Tanka and udaya are very helpful and nice people.they helped me with the chairs that they delivered and made sure everything was good.
Tanka & udaya thank you excellent For your work.
Appalling customer service. First of all, on 24 November 2023 I ordered the Coleridge armchair. It was delivered 4 days later. I was so delighted with the chair I ordered a second chair on 11 December 2023 in order to have a matching pair. The money was deducted from my bank account immediately. To this day (4 June 2024) the armchair has still not arrived. There have been no updates unless I telephone customer service. The order is continually delayed and when I telephoned customer service yesterday,despite being told the chair would be arriving around 5 June, it is now delayed to 26 June. I was offered a refund of £60.00 delivery charges. I was also informed the Merchandising department would contact me.. nothing has happened. To say I am disappointed with OKA is possibly an under statement. I am expecting to receive a clear and concise reply from OKA about when I can expect delivery otherwise I will cancel the order.
Chris and Elliot in delivering the furniture we ordered were very professional, friendly and could not have been more helpful. A first class service.
Mark & Josh were kind, friendly & thorough and provided excellent customer service.
Tony and Dario did a fantastic job of delivering the large bed head. Tricky to squeeze up the old staircase, but they took care to navigate it carefully without any scrapes or scratches.
Really great service by Brooke in store, patient, helpful and great wrapping! (Fast delivery to store too).
Tanka and Mark delivered a great service with a smile. Coffee Table, Accent Chairs better than I remember in store.
Tony and Darion were very friendly and helpful moving my new bed and box springs into my third story bedroom. Easy and polite.
Michelle in the Harrogate store has been incredibly helpful this afternoon - walking me through various ranges…made my life much easier! Thankyou
Clean, tidy and professional delivery and installation
Great service from start to end
We took delivery of a large rug last week, as expected. The rug is superb quality and a true likeness to the one on-line. We found our initial shop experience in Bath to be really helpful, with staff manoeuvring very heavy rugs for us. The delivery service was super efficient and our drivers, Java and Kev unpacked and moved furniture aside so that the rug could be positioned in the room. A great unpacking service which we haven’t experienced before. I have since ordered other items from Oka based on this experience.
Great website, smooth transaction and fantastic product. We would just like to say a big thankyou to the delivery drivers Jabba & Kev who we must say provided the best delivery service we have ever had! They are both a big plus for the company.
Item arrived promptly according to the delivery schedule. Tony and Sean were polite,friendly and efficient.
Lovely delivery team and very helpful - thanks Toby & Sean
