In one of our recent custom installs, Phil from our team shares how we transformed a basic kitchen cabinet into a powerhouse of functionality using a soft-close mixer lift and custom slide-out shelf. This upgrade is a perfect example of how the right design can add both convenience and joy to your daily routine.
A Seamless Upgrade with Hidden Power
Stand mixers are fantastic tools—until it’s time to haul them out from the back of a cabinet or down from an upper shelf. That’s where a mixer lift comes in. We custom-modified this client’s cabinet by combining the drawer and door into one clean front panel, allowing room for a soft-close lift mechanism. With a simple motion, the lift raises the mixer up to counter height—ready to use. Just plug it in and go.
When baking is done, there’s no need to wrestle with awkward storage. Just release the side levers, and the lift glides smoothly and quietly back into the cabinet. It’s smart, safe, and satisfying.
Here is a link to our video showing the magic of the mixer lift:
Bonus Functionality: Storage That Makes Sense
Underneath the mixer lift, we added a full-extension slide-out shelf for storing bowls, pans, or baking essentials. Slide-outs are one of the most requested upgrades we offer—and for good reason:
-
They maximize space by making every inch of the cabinet usable.
-
They increase visibility, so you’re not hunting for items lost in the back.
-
They reduce strain, eliminating the need to kneel, bend, or stretch.
-
They’re ideal for aging-in-place, giving homeowners of all ages easy access to what they need.
When paired with custom upgrades like a mixer lift, slide-outs turn a typical kitchen into a streamlined, efficient workspace that feels luxurious without breaking the bank.
