Can I Take Down a Wall Which Divides a Room?
Yes. Provided that you can determine the true outer dimensions of the room, most walls which divide the room can be taken down.

Disclaimer

These are not rules for taking down a wall; nothing here is an absolute. Rather, this article aims to provide clues for your detective work in deciding whether a wall can be removed in a one-floor house with basement. Only a licensed and experienced contractor and/or structural engineer can determine if a wall within your house can be taken down.
