So we've had this indoor Chinese elm young bonsai now for about 2ish years (idk the actual age of it I think it's like 7 years old) and repotted it about 4/5 months ago for first time. I like it but would like it to be more 'impressive' I don't want to necessarily make it bigger but I really want to make it fuller with many more branches and leaves so it looks like an actual tree. Sometimes we just leave it to grow longer but the branches shoot from all different directions and it ends up looking messy. But then we trim it back and it sort of looks bare. We keep it indoors for the novelty of having something nice to look at when we're in the kitchen, I know it would thrive more outside but we want to keep it indoors. It's a 'broom style' bonsai but more like an informal broom because it has a slight bend in the trunk.
Any suggestions/tips other than time and repotting it in a bigger container ?
I attached two pictures of our tree and a pic of something that I would like it to look like eventually
