MC, we crate-trained our dog, moved her, changed her room, and we found that as long as she still had her crate, she was fine wherever we put her. Just keep her same blanket or whatever you have in there and once she's in and the door's closed, she'll adjust. (or he, sorry) If you're going to switch to a different crate altogether, maybe do that before you move him out of the bedroom. Get the new crate, let him sleep in it in your room like he's used to, then eventually move the new crate out of the room to wherever you want him to be. You could put the old crate in the other room where you want him to end up to try him out in there, but I would probably just get rid of it and only use the new crate in the bedroom to make sure he gets used to it. Once he knows that crate is 'his', he'll probably be fine wherever you put him (even if it takes a night or two, puppies usually adjust much more quickly than older dogs).
