I am not familiar with seaborn but the following appears to let you change the background by setting the axes background. It can set any of the ax.set_* elements.

import seaborn as sns
import pandas as pd 
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

m=pd.DataFrame({'x':['1','1','2','2','13','13'],
                'y':np.random.randn(6)})

facet = sns.factorplot('x','y',data=m)

facet.set(axis_bgcolor='k')

plt.show()
