I highly recommend using semantic-ui, which has a fantastic react port https://react.semantic-ui.com/

I used to use bootstrap, or download themes on themeforest. But since discovering Semantic, I've had a much easier time building front ends. It also serves as a guideline -- when I can't find something I want in Semantic, I have to ask myself "Is there a better way to do what I'm trying to do that _is_ in semantic?"

Also, with anything, it's a matter of putting time into the frontend. If you spent as much time on the frontend as you do on the backend, it would likely look better. It's easy to rapidly prototype a frontend just to make your idea work. Once it works, you move on.

Came to say this. Semantic UI react has almost everything you require to build good looking UI for non designers.
