You can easily configure up the RadFormDecorator to decorate GridView, FormView and DetailsView controls. Simply set the DecoratedControls property to GridFormDetailsViews and the controls will be decorated. Changing the FormDecorator's Skin property to any of the built-in skins will also change the look of the controls.
