I've been working from home for 2 years now. My wife also works from home. We each have separate physical spaces in our home dedicated as offices for us.

As a developer, here are my tips:

* Go to meet ups in your area more often to connect with others and stay in touch with whats going on outside your company. This is a good idea even if you're not working from home, but it's a good excuse to get out of the house when you are.

* If you have access to a local coworking space, make use of it. These are another good opportunity to network with others in your area.

* Work from a coffee shop once in a while for a change of scene. I get some of my best work done outside of the house in a coffee shop. Meet a fellow WFH friend so you have someone to chat with throughout the day.



I've found a library can also be a nice change of scene for those who enjoy a quieter environment.
