Next to the new four GMC stations, the plain old enchanting, alchemy and cooking stations look out of place.

So, new stations that look similar to them would be nice in my opinion, notably with the extra details with the tool upgrades akin to the other stations.
(The sewing kit, mannequin and bundles of cloth on the clothing station for example)

Functionality wise they'd be the same as the normal stations, just prettier. They'd also lack the different visual stages that the current GMC stations have.
If it needs a function, Alchemy / Enchanting GMC stations could have a UI with recipes built in.

I just want the looks and extra level of detail on them though.

    would be cool to get prettier versions of those, but they don't have sets

    A cooking station doesn't have sets?

    Who'd have guessed.

    yea it makes me doubt that we'll get it.

    i know you said they'd be the same as the normal stations functionality wise.

    they do have some fancier versions of those stations through antiquities lol

    daedric enchanting station
    druidic provisioning station
    telvanni alchemy station

    there is also alternative craftable versions of some of those too (like the elsweyr grill for provisioning)

    i dont think i would like a giant monstrosity of a grandmaster station for alchemy, provisioning, enchanting as the other ones are rather large and would cause problems fitting them where i currently have them

    i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (in progress being filled out), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them

    feel free to stop by and use the facilities

    Yes, but those stations all look completely different from each other and the Grand Master Stations. They don't go together at all. The whole point is there isn't a cohesive set of stations that all match and look nice together.

    YES! I was going to create a thread on this but you beat me to it! I just want the stations to match the aesthetics of the other grandmaster stations. I want the alchemy one to have hanging herbs and all sorts of doodads and be tricked out to be just as grand as the other stations. For the cooking, I'm still trying to figure out what would look good for that, but I want it to be larger than the current cooking stations and have them match the style of the grandmaster stations.

    As an aside, do we have the little pottery wheel thingies like we see in Galen available as housing decor? I'd also love the glass blowing sets, even if they aren't functional.

    it is not an Alchemy Station, but this new master writ furnishing does look like it could be one.
    is it close to what you would want as a "Grandmaster" Alchemy Station?

    That would be very cool as part of the set. Like either next to the work table or on it (not sure of the scale of it). I like how the alchemy station in Alinor (Summerset) has herbs hanging down. I've also seen some neat glass apparati that have liquids in them that I think would look neat as part of an alchemy set. There could also be a shelf with vials at the back or to the side.

    There is a nice video by Rosa called How to set up an Alchemy Lab ESO Housing Ideas and Tips (not sure if I'm allowed to post the link but its on Youtube). She had some plants, flowers, vials, hourglass, mortar & pestle, shelves, hanging herbs, jar of dye, poisonmakr's cabinet etc

    Obviously the items would need to be scaled to fit the stations, but I think it would be neat.

    Editing to add that I'm trying to come up with ideas for the Provisioning station, but I'm thinking it could have various hanging meats, herbs, sacks of ingredients, maybe some cookbooks, ladle, knives and cooking utensils. Perhaps there could be some sort of oven and a grill, some pots/cauldron or something.
