On my desktop environment (tiling window manager), I rarely, if ever see the desktop background, so the surrounding work environment has more influence on mood. For instance, keeping the desk uncluttered, working in a well lit space, preferably with natural light, but otherwise non-direct/diffused lighting, using task lamps where required, and having live plants nearby. Or, weather permitting, working outdoors from a nearby park occassionally, preferably using a matte display, and out of direct sunlight, otherwise YMMV.
