Besides extending the frame to get some additional space, add molding to the bottom of the cabinet that extends about
1/2" to 1" below the bottom of the face frame. This gives you a fancier look, allows for a deeper lighting fixture and
adds continuity along the bottom edge of the cabinets.

I'm about to start making the upper cabinets of a kitchen project and
I was wondering if it would be a good idea to add a couple of extra
inches to the length of the cabinet and face frame to accommodate
under cabinet lighting? All suggestions welcome.
