To change look and feel in Java just add this to your main method before you create the GUI.

try {
    UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel");  // Windows Look and feel
} catch (ClassNotFoundException | InstantiationException | IllegalAccessException | UnsupportedLookAndFeelException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
