First, check you local building codes. Are you planning on doing the work yourself or hiring out?

Here are some ideas from pinterest. Just be sure if you cut into a wall, it's not a load bearing wall - or if it is that you add weight bearing beams properly.

Good luck.

Before knocking doen or moving walls you need to determine if they are load bearing or not. If they are load bearing you would need a structural engineer to determine the proper sized beam to carry the load. If they are not load bearing you can remove them. Just watch out for any electrical, plumbing, or ventilation within the walls.
