Cut a couple of onions in half and pop them in the corners overnight.

Bring in some tomcats. You won't smell the paint any more but there is a downside - I'll let you know after you've tried :-)
Seriously though - try scented candles. Just make sure you don't burn down the redecorated house - would be a shame after all that hard work.........

i think lemons work, close the doors as far as you can then sit in another room, or just sit in the room you will get used to it

cut onions in half and place around your house mainly in room or rooms that you have painted .... this really works

Try a tray of milk, it may take while but it does work!
