Canada.com recently published an interesting article on the pitfalls of working from home; which provided some good insights into the benefits of the home/office divide. According to the article…

It's hard to network, and it's really hard to stay creative when you're at home," said the freelance graphic designer. "A couple of times I had to remind myself, 'I'm talking to my clients, not to my friends' because I hadn't talked to anyone that day. I was starting to natter."
Working from home is fine for a day here or there and it's free, he said, but you miss out on the small, incidental conversations that connect you to what's happening and the quick brainstorming sessions that generate ideas or job leads.
