If I realize this year I could have claimed a Home Office last year, and I had business expenses (desk, chair, PC, lamp) from that year, can I claim them this year?

I began my home business in the last two months of 2016 and made some income, but I thought I couldn't claim a home office that year, so I never listed my business expenses (desk, chair, lamp, PC). Since I am claiming a home office for 2017, can I claim those items somewhere in TurboTax since I still use them and never claimed them? I have exact amounts, purchase prices, etc.

If I realize this year I *could* have claimed a Home Office last year, and I had business expenses (desk, chair, PC, lamp) from that year, can I claim them this year?
