Thanks for the response. There's nothing similar in the other rooms that is open like this. I have 3 rooms and an attic on the upper floor.T Testarn said:
OK, then it's probably best to check the truss drawing to see if this is load-bearing or not, or open it up and take a look. If you don't have the knowledge to assess this, you should contact a structural engineer/construction engineer who can help.

This is how it looks today with the extra room. I've tried to draw it in an amateurish way. The red dots I've drawn in are these studs as in the first picture I sent.T Testarn said:
OK, a bit hard to see in the small images, but in the second image showing the cross-section of the house, it looks like there are supposed to be walls supporting the roof truss. These are the ones extending from the ends of the hanbjälke down to the floor/underlieger.
On the drawing where you have marked the rooms, this corresponds to the dashed lines.
Based on these images, I would say the studs are load-bearing, so I wouldn't remove them just like that.
Someone who can see it on-site and who understands construction could probably give a more precise answer and perhaps find a solution where a load-bearing beam is used instead. I can't advise more than that, unfortunately.

Usually, all the walls included in the section drawing are load-bearing. Additionally, there are necessary stabilizing walls.
