Your crate setup.

We have Thor's crate up because he seems to like sleeping in his little cave. We bought it for our travel from Venezuela to Canada. Thor is never crated and we have close the door only once: last year when the gas guy came and ask for it. Sometimes we put the cats in there ~LOL~ so we keep the door on, just in case something comes up.

The crate is in my office and Thor has free will to be or not in there. In the winter we added a fleece sheet in the bottom half to keep it warmer and he loved it!

Ohhhh Thor looks so handsome in his bandana!

My crates are folded up and stacked against the wall in my guest room. 

They're only used for trials -- Luke has a soft crate and Kaiser has a wire crate.  There is no way I'd want to haul plastic kennels to a trial or dog show.  Now I also have a great playpen that take so that they can hang out in the same area -- it folds down smaller & is lighter than Luke's soft crate and gives them a 50" x 50" space to hang out.  Love it!

When going through puppy training, the crate is on the left side of my bed.

 I only have 1 dog kennel.  I very rarely use it anymore.  I have Pinto's cage set up on top of the dog kennel.  The cats like to play in the kennel or climb on top of it and lay on Pinto's cage to torment him!

I only have 1 wire crate and its in between the couch and this wall thing in my basement. Tyson sleeps in the basement bc its much cooler and we only AC the top floor of our house (and my parents dont want him upstairs). I chose wire over plastic because I had to crate train Tyson from when he was a small puppy and it was just more economical to buy a large wire one and use the divider rather than buying multiple plastic ones and upgrading.

 Just a question, do your dogs ever chew up the beds and sheets in their crates? I used to put sheets on the bottom the crate so he wasn't lying on a hard surface all night but he'd chew holes in it,etc. and then i decided to buy an foam egg crate and make a makeshift bed for him by sewing fabric over the egg crate, but I came down the first night afterwards and he ripped it up...

Just a question, do your dogs ever chew up the beds and sheets in their crates?

No, never. But, a puppy I walk (Mastiff) chews up his beds/blankets all the time. The owners just stopped putting them in his crate after 2 beds and many blankets were shredded.

Cheyanne has always been a good dog. I didnt know there was such things as misbehaving dogs until I got more dogs. She spoiled me. She could have gave me a harder time as a first dog right?!!

Lillie used to pee on her bedding. So I quit giving her any. But this past winter we had that ice storm(we didnt have power for 2 1/2 weeks and was heating with a kerosene heater) and she showed me she could have bedding again. Now she isnt ever crated but she does have a big beach towel laid out for her.

Kujo can have bedding. She doest tear up anything except little toys with tags or eyes!

Joker I only trust with a towel or sheet. I am not brave enough to give him anything that can be destuffed!

Fynn doesnt want anything. He will push whatever I give him into the back of the crate. So I dont give him anything even though I think I'd want something to lay on.

Thor has two beds (one inside the crate, the other in the living room) both with a nice blankie and a toy... he would never ever "untidy" his bed, unless he gets a pig ear or a bone, so he has to bury it under the bed

 Here's mine, it's sparse because the two that need to be crated will shred bedding, covers, and anything soft within reach...they're in the dining room because that's just where they fit. The shelties aren't crated anymore, but I have their crates folded in the garage...I actually have four more crates in the garage.

And baby gates of course...

I actually wish I had bought plastic crates in the beginning, I dogsat a dog and the owner brought over his dogs plastic crate. My dogs seemed to like it much better, could have been the novelty though.  

Heidi and Bruder are adapting quite nicely to sleeping in their crates in the front room.  The first couple of nights, they fussed, but I chalk it up to the newness.  Now, after several nights....they go right in when its time for bed and they are quiet all night.

They aren't chewing up the crate beds I got for them...(ortho beds)...but I find Heidi under the bed most mornings.  Too funny. 

 I just realized that I no longer even own enough crates for all my dogs. That would be bad. Most of the crates are out in the shed. There's only one in the house, the puppy/Zhi crate. There's one more out on the patio that's big enough for Ted (or any other dog, actually, except the guard dogs).

The crate is in the master bedroom. We have a non-functional fireplace in the bedroom and it sits there on the hearth. You can often see it in pictures I take in the bedroom, in the background.

I only use it for Sam to feed him in there (door open) or give him chewies (door both open and closed to get him used to it), or when we are gone now, because he's hit the age of Elemental Force of Nature Teething and started gnawing on the woodwork while we are gone. I house trained Sam and he learned mostly not to mess with stuff, long before he started crate training officially.

It's weird how I started out with a setup much like the OP (I had dogs that could jump into the third tier of crates!), and now I only have a crate because of the puppy.

We had a neat setup at the house in Brook Cove. The house had a large hall that was really a room. There was enough room to set up eight crates, and also a big base cabinet where I could fix food.

Eventually we moved that out onto a porch we enclosed, for the sake of the babies who both had asthma and slept in the next room. At that point, I started getting away from using crates a lot until I got to where I am now, without even enough crates for the dogs I have!

River's crate is in an section to my living room which is like a sun room.  He can be with us but not part of the furniture.  I can't move his crate - he doesn't like it and feels all confused.  His crate has been setup where it is since he was puppy.  He has a perfect spot, he can see us and be part of us when he is in it and he is right in front of the sliding glass doors to the deck so he gets to watch the outside too.

He isn't in the crate much anymore since I work from home, but when company is over or we go out or to bed he is in it.  Actually he is in a lot voluntarily, most of time I find him sleeping in it but he can come and go as he pleases.

 I have two wire crates in my bedroom that the dogs use for sleeping or in the occasional event we need the dogs out of company's hair. Eko would sleep on the bed if we didn't shut his door. With Sasha we don't need to shut her door and in fact we only brought her crate back out after it became clear she felt less safe without one. Since my dogs get crate trained as puppies they always seem to like their crates.

Downstairs we have an xpen in the living room which is ugly but it keeps Eko off my daughter when she's eating or from bothering visitors who are nervous. He's loud and large and bouncy and can be a little overwhelming for people who don't know dogs.  He's a bit Tigger-ish.

 I keep extra crates in the garage. They are useful for taking the cats to the vet, housing a loose dog until we can find the owner, lending out, etc. We also have a spare x-pen that has come in handy at times - like when we fostered a litter of kittens or a tame bunny we found in a park. 

This is how our crates are set up in our house.  This is the "dog" room and we used to shut the door with all the dogs in it but now we let Kota and Shadow have free run of the house.  In this pic, we were also watching a friend's dog for a few days and that is her in the plastic kennel in the foreground. 

 We have 7 crates and 2 ex-pens.  2 36" stay in the van, one ex-pen blocks off one of our plants to keep Pepper from eating the dirt, the other is in our RV.  The 3 small crates are located in various places throughout the house and/or van.  heh....

Charlie has his crate under my moms desk in the kitchen and the other crate we are using for my sisters dog Remi while he is staying here, but all the dogs love sleeping it, and Russels crate is on top.
