How to make bootstrap look more professional

Question

I'm developing an application for use by the internal users of a public sector organization. There aren't any requirements for fancy UI so I'm just using good old bootstrap 4. However, I think that the defaults don't look as much professional, or if you want "enterpris-y". Could you recommend me a better approach? Ideally I'd like to just keep my bootstrap layout and change some fonts / colors / sizes etc by an extra css style that would override the bootstrap 4 defaults.Thank you!

I apologise beforehand if this comes off as spammy, but I recently built a framework which is sort of like an alternative to Bootstrap: https://www.gethalfmoon.com/Not sure if the design here is more enterprisy, but it might suit your needs.

I used to have this problem but then I recently bought Tailwind UI. It&rsquo;s $250 but I thought it was totally worth it, it makes it so easy to make stuff professionals if you&rsquo;re a freelancer or working on multiple projects from scratch, the $250 ends up being worth it over time. I&rsquo;m not associated to tailwind UI, I&rsquo;m just recommending it because I really think it&rsquo;s great and was surprised how easy design became after I got it
