Danish knock on wood

In Scandinavia wood floor is obviously a huge part of any interior space. So I am often being asked what type of wood floor to go for, usually a tricky question. But today I think I have the answer -<a href="http://www.dinesen.com/" target="_blank"> Dinesen</a>. This Danish wood floor company does everything right. The distinctive wide wood planks made from Douglas Fir are simply stunning. And it helps that the spaces are too!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLWQBBPuezApxHcIHwm_Og-2crVMV7YuQXeVw58uhZ08qNaECLnqiiGPYGyBW8s9gBTBxIeXZWzze0IJUEQwhF25LD66l2rVV1y2oDyarq1KtIzE9fsj2_eFfW6usGFd1_DKrFuPJkoi8/s1600/dinesen1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
