Working from home tax relief (Office Items)

in Cutting tax
I've tried looking through forums regarding this information but it seems a little unclear now as a lot of the posts are during peak pandemic.
But anyway, I'm starting a new job next month (3 days WFH, 2 days in the office).
Can anyone confirm whether it is possible for me to claim any tax relief on items such as a desk and office chair? I haven't currently got these items and I would rather have them than work from my kitchen table. My employer has provided me with a laptop and peripherals, but they haven't mentioned providing anything further.
TIA

The short answer is no. For ordinary expenses, see example 12:

There was a relaxation of the strict rules on office furniture used in the home, but it ended on 5 April 2022 and only applied to items reimbursed by the employer:
