According to Kamus Dewan Edisi Ke-4, 'menghias' means 'menjadikan sesuatu lebih cantik atau elok (dengan) barang yg indah-indah, gambar, solekan, dll' or 'to render something more beautiful with beautiful things, pictures, make-up, etc'
As for 'menghiasi' it carries the meaning of 'menyebabkan kelihatan lebih cantik atau elok' or 'cause something to look more beautiful'.
The meaning of 'menghiaskan' is 'mencantikkan (mengindahkan) dgn sesuatu' or to beautify with something'
Let me teach readers how to use three of the above by the following formulae:
1 orang + menghias + benda + dengan + sesuatu
[person + menghias + thing + with + something]
Example: Kerani itu menghias mejanya dengan pasu bunga.
[The clerk decorated his desk with a flower vase]
2 benda + menghiasi + tempat
[thing + menghiasi + place]
Example: Belon yang berwarna-warni menghiasi dewan itu.
[Colourful balloons decorate the hall.]
3 orang + menghiaskan + benda + pada + tempat
[person + menghiaskan + thing + at + place]
Example: Wanita itu menghiaskan sekuntum bunga pada sanggulnya.
[The woman decorated her hair-bun with a flower.]
So much for the usage of 'menghias', 'menghiasi' and 'menghiaskan'
