About Us
Our Mission
To create smart, simple solutions that make every day living easier, providing a better quality of life.
Our Founder’s story
It all started with Nicky Nicoloau - a self-confessed Libran, lover of beautiful aesthetics, and his lifelong battle with skew pictures and artworks.
No matter where he ventured, he couldn’t help noticing and getting slightly annoyed by frames and artwork that often sat askew in offices, restaurants, doctors’ rooms and friends’ homes.
It became an obsession as one of Nicky’s core beliefs is that if you want a sense of calm, order and contentment in your life then your environment needs to reflect that too. When the little things are right, the quality of life improves. This belief aligns with the philosophy of Feng Shui: to create internal peace and order, your external environment needs to be in alignment.
So, after one too many tilted frames and frustrated sighs, he invented a solution. A small, clever, invisible fix that would keep every picture perfectly straight, all the time.

Why making friends with Pixie Pals matters?
Skew frames and pictures are like a stone in your shoe, highly annoying, but something you often ignore, because of the effort involved to fix the issue.
Pixie Pals are super easy to install. No tools are required. You simply peel the double-sided tape, stick the tape on the back of a Pixie Pal, align the Pixie Pal so it sits snuggly on the back corner of the frame, level the picture and press the Pixie Pal onto the wall to enjoy the satisfaction that comes with straight frames and pictures.
They are also easy to remove, leaving no greasy marks on your walls and especially practical if you are in a rental. No mess, no fuss.
Pixie Pals are like those friends that simply walk into your life and make life so much easier and more enjoyable.

Testimonials and Reviews
It’s such a relief to not get distracted by skew pictures on my wall. I used to walk past the picture wall of my family’s photos and instead of stopping to fix and straighten pictures that just bounce back out of alignment, I now walk past and pause to appreciate them. Pure bliss.

At first, I wasn’t sure that this little transparent square would make a difference in my life, but once Nicky came into my home and straightened all my pictures, I was very impressed. Suddenly, my home felt lighter and a little more organised.

Our practice walls were a constant battle with skew pictures and certificates. Since using Pixie Pals, everything stays perfectly straight, even after dusting. Best of all, our receptionist is finally happy!
