👉 In the context of interior design, a "handrest" refers to a piece of furniture or wall-mounted object that is used as an additional support for the hands and wrists when sitting or working. It can be a simple tray, a cushion, or a bookshelf. Handrests are often found in homes with high-ceilings, offices, or other spaces where the legs may need to rest on them to prevent strain on the lower back.
